Repco is the auto parts chain that was around when I was a kid. They still feel a little less retail (most parts are stored out the back and someone has to go grab it all for you), but they do appear to be increasing their shelf space out the front.
This particular store is open weekends (not all are), which is great for the enthusiast working on their car, or just the person saving a bit of cash doing their own service.
I recommend knowing what you want before coming in (product codes and the like), but even if you don't, the staff are happy to look it all up for you. Every staff member here has been super friendly and helpful.
I went in today because I saw they had 35% off the oil I was after. While grabbing various filters also needed, the man helping me let me know the Repco brand price as well as other options, so wasn't trying to upsell the most expensive brand or even the company brand.
If you're a member of RACQ you can expect a 10% discount as well, but keep an eye out. A few weeks ago it was a 30% discount, and it was 20% today.
I'll definitely be back here next time I need something for my car. read more
