louistan3 1 Report post Posted September 9, 2013 Hi guys, I've got an e30 and was just wondering where everyone buys their parts? supplies (Oils,etc)? tools? and whatever else needed to work on cars? I've got the standard tools ages ago from repco/supercheap but thought people here might actually have better places in mind to buy these things? I assume not everyone here has a trade account so somewhere not requiring that would be good Thanks for your help Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to go with Castrol GTX for oils, is there a better option? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used to go with Castrol GTX for oils, is there a better option? as long its a name brand you cant go wrong with oil really. I only use Penrite or Castrol personally. dont use red stamp/repco brand/etc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr2low 57 Report post Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Well it was 8 years ago i left lol. Last time i went into a repco i offered to go behind the counter and get the part myself coz the person took 15mins looking for it down the wrong isle. Just like today tho customer trying to tell me how a 600d was the new version of a 60d (canon slrs) Edited September 10, 2013 by Mr2low Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
