i tried that match prices thing at repco they said they would need to confirm it was exactly the same product and asked me to go buy it from the opposition then come back and present it with the docket.
admittedly i do like bnt but as we dont have one in taupo i stick with sca
it often comes down to choice go to, repco and spend half an hour haggling them down from $100 to $70 or walk in off the street and buy it from sca for $71or quite often $40, no bargaining just items with prices

BNT charged me $47 for one metre of fuel line the other day. I was like "oh $14!' nope $47. SCA had fuel injection hose for like $10 a metre, they seem to have the same rating.
This was the same day pick a part gave me a DISCOUNT on my parts cause the staff woman said "I'll just list that you bought a bunch of fuses" when it was fistfuls of stainless hose clamps and bolts. It was opposite day or something.

I was sadly sentanced to work there for a while and they did then. That was about 12 14 months ago since I left, sorry, my sentance was over. Maybe its changed.

Lololol, lots of censored swearing here, no one has received a warning yet, yet when I had done similar I got a warning in less than 5 minutes! Talk about double standards!

Blatant profiteering that is for sure.Funny thing too is that a some of the gnomes working there don't know SFA about product or PR for that matter.

Same thing with various Toyota genuine stuff as well I've found. I never use aftermarket stuff like filters etc. if I can help it.

I hardly ever go genuine since it's always more expensive. Whether it be filters or drive belts i found Repco cheaper and just as reliable. I'm not pro any company either
