    actually buying from it would allow the free advice to continue ?

    No, I wondered that myself. However I offered them the chance to


    price match

    does the internet site offer free advice from a local location? Do
    they offer a local collection service? Price matching may not be a
    fair request

    I've bought from them in the past. In fact, very often. However my
    purchasing power includes bartering with them. Especially as their prices
    are so inflated. FFS, we're talking Evans here, not a small one man
    business, none of them left now due to Halfords and Evans taking over the
    area. They are charging 20% more than I can buy elsewhere. They are fully
    aware of the internet and the competition it provides.
