Halfrauds trade card

[Rob]

I walked into halfrauds today at closing time to buy a ball joint separator holding a wad or receipts for car parts and walk out 5 min later with a trade card. No idea why I did not do this earlier, it was so easy. They asked for details and I said all I got are some receipts for the last couple of weeks, no more questions asked.

I asked about that a while back and the guy said I had to show a certificate that I was in the trade. I was in work attire so that could not have helped. My certificate with the queen's head and number 2 and 0 did not work either

Have had one for a couple of years, just showed them my City and Guilds from around the 80's, you get a good discount on wiper blades and service stuff, so well worth trying to get one.

I'm a self-employed mechanic.
I am self-employed and I work on my land cruiser (i.e. mechanic)

I wonder if I can argue my point

I read into all their joining criteria but its all irrelevant. Not once did they ask me what I do for a living, just asked for a name, address and company name and handed them a wad of part invoices. My advice if they refuse to give it to you at one branch just try a different time. They may care less when you visit then at closing time as they just want to go home and therefore may ask less questions.
