i have had far better experiences with repco than supercheap up here. The staff at repco have some idea of what they are doing, at supercheap if I manage to find a staff member to start with they are teenagers that know nothing technical about cars. I put a brand new, big cammed 5.0L v8 in my old SS last year so i don't look for the cheapest products, i want the best products the cheapest i can get them and when it comes to price i haven't found much difference between supercheap and repco, some a little more and some a little less.
When i got the new engine i bought all new products to go with it, sealants, plugs, leads, coolant, fuel filter, oil & filter and i priced a list of the specific branded products i wanted with auto one, BNT, SCA & repco. Repco came back with the best price out of all of them and have found that the specials are almost always the same price at either store.
I think they are all ripping us off so where i can i buy products from the US or australia, often it will cost half (including doubling the cost with freight) to buy something and have it shipping internationally to me than it costs to drive to town and buy it. I did that with a number of engine parts and saved heaps. I bought a HV oil pump for $85AUS and it cost another $85AUS for it to be freighted to me ($170AUS delivered), best price in town was $440 for the same brand item
