Was chatting to a mate who works on his BF Falcon and he was saying recently he has found Repco cheaper than Supercheap.
Jefferson Automotive Group has a Parts Shop in Mitcham Victoria that sells Parts for the various New Car Franchises they sell, Ford, Mitsubishi, Skoda, Toyota etc and the Ford part prices are good. Last edited by EBSXR6; Yesterday at 09:36 PM. |

Repco seem to stock more spare parts as well. Unless you are buying a fluffy steering wheel cover, more and more stuff at Supercheap is becoming 'Special Order' and you have to wait for it. If I have to wait a few days for it I may as well buy it on line for a lot less most of the time. I find Autobarn is cheaper for car audio and has a much better variety. |

Supercrap seemed go have bumped prices to take advantage of things. But they have an exceedingly generous price match/beat offering, often going further than just matching the price. They will match any legit price.
Most recently I saved $77 on 2 bottles of Nulon 5w-30 6lt and $290 on a set of front Falcon calipers. Makes them far cheaper than anyone else in this case. But regardless, I tend to put off any big purchases from them to line up when they have their 20 or 25% off days. Next one due will probably be Black Friday sales. |

Supercheap's price match guarantee is very genuine and very easy. I use it for bosch aerotwin wipes. They are $45 in store but I can always seem to get them for around $25 on line. You go into the store, tell where you found them cheaper, they look it up in seconds and you pay that price. I use Repco more for spare parts like, water pumps, wheel bearings. These are some of the parts that I don't keep on hand and if I need one straight away I can generally get it from Repco or even Autobarn. I do feel more comfortable buying from Supercheap with their 'if it goes on sale...' price guarantee. Speaking of which, I completed a survey with them recently and from some of the questions that I answered I have the feeling that they are considering replacing the 'if it goes on sale...' price guarantee with get $5 credit for every $100 you spend. |

Go back a few models and you find Repco haven't a clue.
I'm back to Bursons but mainly independents (Betolli's, auto8) when buying XF parts these days. Bursons are pretty good at tracking down genuine Bosch ignition stuff. I'll give Supercrap a go for their tools only because the local one is full of older car nuts working there and they gave me a trade card. Don't mind some of their Toolpro and Toledo stuff and actually made in India compared with Repco Chinesm quality stuff. Truck parts seem to work out cheaper than some of the car stuff lately.
