Yeah agreed Richo.
I have done the odd day in a local store and we'll fit wiper blades, but thats the limit. Maybe a batttery if its just won't start and the person is stranded.
In the old days before side airbag seats etc, we used to fit seatcovers, I can even remember doing alarms and stereos in the back of our shop, even a cat converter and a few exhaust tail pipes.
Not now, too many insurances, liabilities etc. If we fit seat covers and the don't line up properly for the airbags to deploy, guess who'd be sued if the car was crashed and insurance denied a claim.
I've seen SC staff fitting tool boxes to the back of utes etc, they'll be great when the piddly little bolts snap and it falls off on the highway. I think they also charge a fitting fee. Had a bloke saying one Sat while I was waiting for some paint that they were going to charge $15 to fit some wiper blades to his Honda or something, the kid got out there and couldn't figure out how to take the blades out of the 'thingies' so he said he couldn't do it. My mate went out and replaced both the heads as it was quicker, easier and cheaper to do that, for nothing.
