Default Sydney Spare Parts Shop Advice

Hi Guys,
I haven't been here for a while but I need some advice from my fellow sydney members. I was just wondering what spare parts shops you guys use in the St Mary's, Mt Druitt area. There are a few to pick from. Is Glossop Street Spares any good? Im looking for any ones good or bad experiences if possible. Thanks.

I use Macarthur Parts Plus in Narellan
And there's also Fordpro in Smithfield as well.
I haven't been to Glossop St spares myself.

Used Ford Pro at Smithfield about 5 years ago, they sold me a genuine EL XR8 car stereo that did not work, when I returned it they said we will fix it for you, I was happy with that.

About a week later I went to pick it up and they wanted me to pay for the repairs they had done, saying it was my stereo not theirs

Needless to say I never been back, used Macarthur Parts Plus in Narellan as recent as yesterday, and no issues. Seems to be good service for a wrecker.

I just mentioned FordPro as it is there ... but have heard of their dodginess before.

I was at MPP in Narellan the other day as well ... and have bought a fair bit there over the last few years ... ALWAYS excellent service ... they are busy though ... but service and parts are excellent ... and warranty on parts from memory as well.

Yeap, another happy customer Macarthur Parts Plus @ Narellan..

doing a trip down to Mittagong via Narellan to see the relatives last year, and the ECU relay died which meant trans was in 3rd, no ISC TPS or thermos fans etc.. went and got a relay from there for the ECU and it worked straight off... didn't cost too much either, and its still working fine

Glossop St Spares aren't too bad at all. Burson's in Penrith are pretty good as are Auto One in York Road.

Yeah .. Bursons in Penrith had some decent stuff in there actually ... more than what you'd normally find elsewhere.

Nepean spares are a half a km down the road and have more stock and generally better prices.I worked there for a while a few years back and know every one there so I might be a bit biased.
They service the trade around st.marys and mt druitt a lot more than most of the others in that area.
