Well I can only comment on our Local Motor World & Halfords....
I use to work at Halfords in 1999 & Motor world was brill... but so was Halfords too!
Both employed parts people who knew how to fix a car!!!
Before I worked at Halfords We'd only go to Motor World cos of their cozy, family fealing shops.
As of late tho, they are both as rubbish as eachother although the manager at Motor World and the staff are about 17/18 and you walk in & they're sitting on the camping chairs or throwing sponges at eachother & don't stop when a customer comes in!
It's no suprise these shops are suffering tho as people now go straight to CAS, Partco, Wilko, Linco or internet sites like buypartsby etc. where these shops get their parts from too! Gone are the days you can walk into the shop and leave with a full servicing kit.... it's now a 1-2day wait!
oh... and the staff haven't a clue wot car parts are, they wanna sell alloys, polish, oil or car radio's!!
ok... off my soap box
