After swapping my wheels over for a set of 370z Rays, I noticed that I was getting vibration when driving above 60 mph and as I am work 12hrs shifts 7 days a week, I thought I would drop the car off at Halfords in Castle Vale, Birmingham.
I spoke to the Halfords manager who said they were busy and that if I left them the keys (they recorded it and I signed for the work to be done) and had a chance they would balance the wheels for me and phone me when it was done. By the end of the day the I hadn't had a phone call so went round and collected my keys from Halfords, the manager appologised and said to try again the following day.
10 days later I get a letter from UKPC with a £100 parking charge (not fine) reduced to £60 if I pay within 14 days because my car had overstayed the maximum 4 hours. My car was parked opposite Halfords garage doors as shown in the pictures below.
I plan on speaking to Halfords about the issue and asking them for a copy of the dated receipt I signed and challenging the parking charge, but the problem is that I could end up having to pay the whole £100.
Any thoughts on what I should do?
