At Repco, they actually know a bit about cars, same can't be said for Supercheap.

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.
Cheers,

I'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

Super 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 8)

i voted supercheap! :o

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

God 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.
