i would love to support local business BUT
so i need 6 new spark plugs one ignition coil an inlet manifold gasket kit
and a PS fluid tank for my XJ
NGK plugs repco $43.00 each Rockauto $7.80 each (AUD)
manifold gasket set Repco $120.00 Rockauto $22.36 (AUD)
i didn't bother asking for a price for the coil
I'm happy to wear a reasonable markup, but that is criminal
even with postage is a fraction of the price.
i keep giving the locals a chance , but i wonder why i bother.
ok back to sleep hehehehe

The only time I'd look at Repco is if I'm caught short half way through a job and need it same day. Local outfits are their own worst enemies.

I just got a new set of 4 springs for my WG 2.7 crd. Looked at a number of local suppliers,, price was per pair of springs;
REPCO $480 for 1 pair, Super Cheap online $204 for 1 pair. This was for the exact same King springs. As an added bounus, super cheap had an extra discount of $40, which dropped the price to about $164 per pair!!! Not the first time I have stupid prices from Ripco, dont usually bother with them but they had a "sale" on at the time.

KIngs springs from Supercheap is always good value and Repco when on special for some bits, I have found a bit of banter and I can get a trade price but filters always online bundle buy.
