  I needed a new headlamp bulb for my Ford Focus. I imagined having to phone my garage, waiting for an appointment in a few days time (and being stopped...again...by the police...). But my husband suggested I try Halfords. I checked on-line that Bishopbriggs was one of their centres offering bulb replacement, and visited first thing the next morning. The website suggested I might need to book but I didn't and got served very quickly by a great bloke who checked on-line they had the bulb, got it off the shelf and fitted it himself within 10 minutes. Total cost including fitting £17. Really nice guy, great fast service and vfm. Definitely recommend
