Winter Service? Strapped for cash?
Winter service? Strapped for cash?
Then get down to Wilkos! I needed shed loads of brake fluid, coolant, oils, etc for my car. So I tried Motaman, our in-town motor accessories supplier. £7.49 a litre for brake fluid. So I thought, ouch, I'll need a few of them. Round the corner to Wilkinsons and huzzah, Comma DOT4 for £2.49.. thats less than a third the price. You can see the gap on the shelf where I bought up all their stock  I also picked up Carplan coolant for £1.49/litre, CV grease for £2.49 a tub where I paid £5 from the factors, they also do WD40 from 99p and a range of car cleaning products (baz?) from 99p! Big tub of Comma Lite oil? £8.99. Can't go wrong.   run by pikeys, for pikeys |

We have a Wilko here in St Albans too, I make my pilgrimage there once a week to pick up all the essentials.
Anything with a wilko logo on it you know will probably be total shit (tools in particular) but like you say, cheap branded stuff all under one roof! Long live Wilko! |
