    Default "the guys at Repco"

    So i got a quote form Yella terra for 1.95 rockers, the money im just coming up with for next week, for the sake of convieniance i go to repco(cairns) to see if i can get the rockers from there if i get a price similar to the one offered to me from YT direct, repco wanted $1200

    ... are you serious?

    sorry i just needed to vent :P

    does anyone know a place in cairns region that i can get them for a price that isen't stupid?

    Hey VTmadS1,

    He may have added something very incorrectly.
    you can also get them in through Burson Auto parts or AutoBarn stores.
    or if needed contact me directly.

    Cheers

    Mate when I bought my new pulley for my S/C I dealt with Y/T directly and found them great to deal with, they sent my gear out that arvo and I had it the next day. If you go through another shop they will put on their profit % and you will pay extra.

    Isn't bursons going out of business though? They make barely any money... their mark up is something like 15-18% on most products lol

    not really anything to do with the topic and yes I realise its an oldie ... but I work in spare parts and would like to contribute to this conversation.

    I know how much a Narva brand H4 globe costs to buy in especially in bulk.

    I stopped at Repco on my way home as I realised I had blown a globe as I reversed out the driveway at work and saw the reflection on the glass doors to my front counter area.

    It was raining quite heavily and was quite dark, I wanted to have full headlights on for my travel home especially along the motorway as its a silver car and can dissapear amongst the spray. I figured rather then unlock and disarm the building, I'll just stop at Repco on the way past. Sure, it might cost a few bucks extra but I was in a lazy mood.

    Til they told me how much the price was, even with trade discount. I could almost buy a pack of 10 from my supplier for the price they wanted for one. The bloke just said "oh well, do that then" and walked off, so I did, come back to work, unlocked and grabbed one.

    Their mark up is rediculous, especially when they would be getting the same, or even better discount on bulk purchases then I would as they'd be selling more.

    Ive heard good things about YT, I'd just stick to ordering direct from them if ya can.

    they are fantastic btw, easy for even a retard like me with no mechanical experiance to put in.
