I like the sign in the electrical wholesaler we use at work. It says "staff are neither trained nor qualified to give electrical advise". Maybe more places need similar signs.

I rang up Repco for a pair of O2 sensors. NGK $110 each Fuelmiser $170 each.
I asked the guy what was going on as I can get Bosch for $50/60 each or VDO 2 for $90 and these are both Australian stock. I said this has been a trend I have noticed to which he said many trade customers are complaining and Repco people are planning to look at the problem. I hate using ebay as I want to give my money to local businesses but I don't make enough money to pay 2-3 times the price elsewhere. Why is this happening? I use my wifes NMRA card when I shop there as it gives discounts. Certain oil brands have gone up and petrol through dec/jan was way up considering oil was record low for the same months and we were told the ''holiday period'' would be ''cheap for Aussie motorists''. I regularly paid over $1:65 p/l through the same period and it has only dropped to $1:40 something, recently. Nothings so cheap anymore.... Last edited by xr8cam; 14-02-2017 at 02:01 AM. |

That's the lane departure warning - when you roll out from under the car, it hits the gutter & keeps you rolling in a straight line.....

I find Autopro (Canningvale) very good, I went to SCA for a specific product but don't sell it anymore so thought while there I'll get some injector cleaner for Mrs mazda, Nulon was $16 & the SCA Calibre brand $13 so what the hell bought the Calibre, anyway called into Autopro to get what I wanted only to find their Nulon was $4 cheaper, & $1 cheaper than SCA brand, ended up with Liqui Moly for the XR6 for same price of SCA Nulon
Some shops I don't mind paying a little more providing I get good advice, not somewhere the IQ is less than their shoe size but cheaper
