Autac is the sort of store you visit because you have to, not because you want to.
My visits here have always coincided with problems with my car. You see, Autac is a car accessory place for those DIY repair jobs that may be too small to take to a mechanics but are just too big to completely ignore. When I have needed to swap a bulb, touch up a scratch, or even replace a stolen number plate, then Autac has always been there for me.
It's quaint in its own little way and the endless boxes of car knick-knacks look like Arkwright has had a hand in the unconsciously retro layout. But, that's where the charm ends. I'm not a fan of Autac's because the approach of the staff is unusual to say the least. You're guaranteed to hear one of the owner's sarcastic quips or silly jibes. Even if Lewis Hamilton came in, there'd be a reason to mock his query or belittle his purchases.
Autac is the comedy club and you're sitting in the front row. Customers come out of necessity, not for a fantastic customer experience. If you can withstand the approach then the shop itself is great. read more
