I had the miss fortune to work at Repco, Did heaps of them!Can be annoying if your flat stick (every cent counts you know) but customer relations is important too so I did them when I could.Buy a good set to, pay few dollars extra and you will be surprised.

Nothing like good old customer service aye!It might just be a set of wiper blades today but it could have been some significant money spent in the future.It's a shame that Repco still consider the walk in general public customers to be second class citizens.Like FK said, Supercheap will sell them AND fit them for you, might cost ya 5 bucks, but still cheap compared to "we don't do that here".

Back in the day not too long ago a stand alone auto parts store would fit them for you for nothing. Not today though at the likes of super cheap or repco they will charge you. Also spend a couple of bucks extra and get metal backed inserts,you will notice the difference over the cheap ones. (quiet!)

Had a mate worked for Repco (and just about every other car parts place), he would't miss an opportunity to do this. Meant he could wander outside, have a smoke, and spend 10 mins pissing around perfoming a simpleton's task , on the clock.

appreciate all the feedback.I went into repco early.like first thing.had been driving from papakura to city and back in torrental rain.and realised my wipers needed replacing.no one was interested in helping me.just a blank stare and no advice as to who would do this for me.wont go back there.

Yet another person who doesn't appreciate the importance of "customer service".50 bucks in the till for a set of wiper blades but you'll never see them again.
