They sell quite a bit of car stuff, oil is quite reasonably priced iirc.

It's not always cheaper for everything but there is always something you want to buy in the shop, good for a wee walk around.

They do michelins.

Costco isn't just your regular cash and carry, it's better for some reason, makro for instance is crap.

Yip, £30 for a standard card, I think they say you have to have certain jobs to get one but thats never a problem in the one I go to.

You get you and a spouse (anybody in my one, i've got one with my mate) so it's £15 each.

Doesn't that mean you have to be in the "trade" to get a card?

the "rules" say you have to provide proof of being a mechanic or parts trader, so it's just luck if they don't ask?
