What someone knows about cars isn't really up to what store they work at.
But anyway, I'm not trying to start an argument, I voted repco because they have most of the technical parts. And they've been in my town a lot longer than Supercheap.
Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2008 12:12 pmobviously repco,
some of the people that work at supercheap are a bit thick sometimes lol.
but then again just depends if u are wanting help, advice and good customer service or know what u want and just want it cheap

Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2008 12:15 pmI've gone to both, as both seem to stock different things that I want at any given point in time. Thus I would click the invisible third option

Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2008 3:23 pmSupercheap for Cleaning Supplies and Tools, Repco for parts and service items.
Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2008 3:37 pmSupercheap for things that dont really matter.. axel stands, tow rope, tie downs..

Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2008 4:59 pmSuper cheap for me, I go there for cheap parts not advice on my cars. Oil / filters, bog, etc etc
K-mart has clearance specials most of the time so I grab smelly fish oil etc from there.
Repco is more often than not more expensive part for part than supercheap. Any important parts are bought straight from Toyota as they should be!
I'm pretty sure anyone that doesn't have access to a trade account will care. Dumbest comment of the day, well done

Posted: Fri Nov 28, 2008 5:47 pmi voted supercheap! 
was going to say repco
then i realised that in the last coupla years iv spent more at supercheap that repco!
mainly because i never buy parts at either of them
just things like floor mats, paint, tape etc and supercheap is cheaper by far for those items
when sourcing aftermarket parts at toyota supercheap wasnt even considered... and repco were only used when BNT didnt have it

ummm
LMAO
Posted: Sat Nov 29, 2008 9:36 pmGod forbid the day I ever live in some tinass town where repco has the local spare parts monopoly. They are overpriced to hell unless you have access to trade/staff pricing. Supercheap has a better range of oils and better quality filters etc however I've found myself buying most of my parts lately from local trade orientated distributors like STA parts out at the airport and JPR in penrose whose service,knowledge and pricing is second to none.
What's BNT like?

As quoted above, hence voting for supercheap.
STA and BNT are pretty good.
