From Snap-On or Bursons (or both)?

I'm not in the auto trade but for more expensive bits and pieces I'm sure I could wangle an order form from a friend ;)

Burson's are better here, price wise and service wise, nobody has any stock on the shelves but due to GFC and floods. Ford included.

Repco has been trying to get me back, the manager is OK and I get the right price but the other staff are hopeless.

Autobarn is the most expensive IMO.
Unless you have a ricer they are only good for polish and seatcovers.

ive found burson's prices to be heaps cheaper than repco... in some cases the repco trade price was dearer than the burson retail price...... its just crazy.

iv found both repco and bursons are rather overpriced, especialyl on custom ordered in bits. burson discounts look great when u have a trade account but being in the trade now and comparing prices the discounts are BIG only because there retails are HIGH

Repco used to be 90% trade and 10% retail years ago, now it's the opposite, Repco are now mostly staffed with junior labour who (with no fault of their own) know nothing about cars.

Bursons are a automotive trade outlet that are happy to deal with the public too.
