Halfords fitting service

[Pugman406]

Does anyone know if these guys will fit a cd player i bought off ebay? or must it be supplied by them?

plse help.

as far as i know they only fit the stuff they sell
its not a hard job to do yourself.

[Pugman406]

I know its hard. I sold a pioneer cd player on ebay, but 4got to put the wiring loom in box, so i sent it seperatly on friday, but the guy cudnt wait and took it to halfords to see if they had one to fit, except it didnt work, they tested fuse which was fine, tested it further to say its burnt out! He wants a refund.

But my sister who worked at halfords for abit, also sed they only fit stuff they supply.

So its his own fault, he should of waited til my wiring loom turned up.

What u reckon?

[omega]

difficult to prove whos at fault he will say it wasnt working and you will say it was.

[Pugman406]

can he do out about it, cos my ebay advert stated no returns offered!

[omega]

doesnt matter about returns he will say it was wrongley advertised
did you say it was in working order?

[Pugman406]

All i stated it that it was in mint condition. Never sed it was or was not working. Surely this is his fault for letting halfords fit it, when they shouldnt of done?

[omega]

he will say he took it to be fitted at a radio shop and they told him it was no good.
think the best thing you can do is ask him to return it to you,if he opens a dispute with ebay you will lose as ebay always side with the buyer.

I still think he should of waited until my wiring loom i sent him had turned up ( got a feeling it will show tomorrow), before going to them prats at halfords who dont have a clue what there doing!

[FarmerPug]

Halfords really dont have a clue if they have a shelf dedicated to gearstick knobs thats longer than the one for engine oils or belts you know there is something wrong

[Pugman406]

he just impatient, and cudnt be arsed waiting for my wiring to turn up, and now look whats happened.

[FarmerPug]

if the worst comes to the worst you can trust paypal to straighten things out, make your point clear about the fact you told the buyer to wait for the wires and they should understand.

Hi guys

Well i got a message from him last night. He got my wiring loom in the post yesterday, fitted it to the head unit and hey presto, it works!

He has also taken my advice about not using halfords to fit head units etc, they have no idea!

Thanks for everyones imput.

Good news mate, gotta say at halfords though.

Another happy ending

Bit of a close call though

Halfords, or any other place, would never show any interest in boshing-in some old head unit because if the car was to catch fire later they wouldn't be insured.
