    Default One STop Shop

    I know products will vary depending on shop.
    but which do you guys think is better to get most things? Supercheap, Repco or Autobarn or any others??

    Bursons mainly. Supercheap for sockets and spark leads, Repco for stuff on special like degreaser. But I generally find Bursons are the best, and tend to cut their shelf prices for you if you know what you're on about.

    Autobarn, simply because it is a 5 min walk from my place, and there isn't anything else close by

    my fav is auto1, staff always know their stuff there unlike supercheap and i find that buying from auto1 is cheaper as i got quoted $180 for springs at repco and $145 at auto1, plus most of the staff know who i am now cause ive been there so many timse and will usually cut couple of $$$$ off the price which is always good

    They're primarily a Victorian chain. They're very small in NSW and QLD and aren't nearly as competetive

    id go sprints auto parts ALWAYS ask if they can do it cheaper (9/10 times they will) .Last week went in sprints had to get a few bits n pieces wanted to charge 15.50 for a sump gasket said my piece NICELY got it for 4.50 they will look after you if you spend your money at 1 place ...if you find a good mechanic keep him ,if you find a parts seller keep him cos their hard to find look after they ppl that look after you so if he saves you a few buck buy him a coke in the end youll save

    Yeah when i was living in bundy (18 months ago now) i found that supercheap didn't have much i regards to spare parts and the customer service wasn't that great either , Autobarn on the other hand were pretty good i could walk in get the parts that i needed and be on my way again .

    Now i buy most of my parts from either my dads friend who owns a auto parts shop or off the net .
