So, had to buy a car battery today, was gonna get the guy to price match Autobahn. He said not to as they're having 20% off this weekend. I asked if it was store wide, he said yes.

So either hold off purchasing till this weekend, or buy now and use your club card and get the difference back as credit.

    And pay with your AMEX

    • Mellows on 19/07/2016 - 19:53

      I saw that the link you have posted showed that the Supercheap $20 off when you spend $100 offer from Amex being expired - it's still active in my Amex offers - did they do 2 different expiry dates for the offer I wonder?

      • Shonky on 19/07/2016 - 20:03

        Probably the offer to save it to your card expires but once saved you have some time to use it. Mine is still on my card and says it expires 3rd September.

        • Mellows on 19/07/2016 - 21:59

    • nowlan on 19/07/2016 - 20:35

      I got mine at local beau-repairs, and was cheaper than i was expecting. Something like $106. Might be worth giving them a ring.

      • Herp on 19/07/2016 - 22:03

        Tyrepower too, paid $140 w/ no negotiation/sales for a Century 55D23L the other week. ~$3.20 cheaper even than it would be 20% off at SCA and I'd much rather support them for not inflating their prices.

        • birnie on 20/07/2016 - 14:47

          Ah yes, Tyrepower !
          Didn't think of that.
          I've rung around and they'll do $149 for my NS60 century
          SCA should be $135.20 so i'll hang tight for the weekend

          Thanks for the suggestion though :)

    • Kranbone on 19/07/2016 - 23:13

      I hope the 20% off doesn't exclude batteries. I remember when repco had a special like this it excluded batteries.

    • tunzafun001 on 23/07/2016 - 22:42

      Big W do car batteries from $65. Combine with cash rewards egift card..

      Or local wreckers from $20 (Google how to read the age Of a battery from date code).

  • inherentchoice on 19/07/2016 - 18:10

      • [Deactivated] on 20/07/2016 - 08:50

        I think it normally excludes the parts search section. I wonder if this applies in store or not?

          The best Bosch wiper blades (IMHO) are the Aerotwins. Unfortunately, SCA don't sell these. The closest thing they sell is the Tridon FlexBlade.

    That's pretty awesome of him to tell you about the sale. Is that something they'd be told to say to get people in, in case they buy more stuff during the sale, as in told to, by corporate, or, do you think he was just a nice dude? What do people think?

    I like to ponder over things like this..

    • spackbace on 19/07/2016 - 18:26

      Nice guy I think
      If he price-matched Autobahn at $170 I'd probably be annoyed when it was $157 on the weekend!
      Still bought it at full price but I'll get $38 credit back

    • Flying Ace on 19/07/2016 - 19:03

      I work in retail too, if I knew that there was going to be a sale shortly and someone was making a large purchase (and they were nice!) then I would quietly mention to them about the upcoming savings they could make.

    • Lvl1pro on 19/07/2016 - 20:05
      +1

      Having worked at SCA before they would specifically not tell us when these 20% off sales were until like maybe a week before. Not sure if they do this so other auto stores don't have time to rebut with there own sale or that they knew staff would tell customers about the sale. Personally I did what Flying Ace mentioned and my manager didn't mind and would also actually go out of his way to tell our regular customers. I think it might have changed now though with the club plus card because I would imagine corporate would rather customers had store credit than savings.

    Well I opted for a Century battery with 3yr warranty, $195 normally, $170 at Autobahn, $157 on the weekend

      FYI..The Repco batteries are just re-badged century batteries. I didn't believe the shop assistant until she peeled off the Repco label and the Century label was underneath!! They can become quite cheap when Repco have their 30% off sales (and don't exclude batteries) - 20% off at the moment https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/255477

      • Diji1 on 23/07/2016 - 11:01

        You'd be amazed at how many things are the same item with either a different shell and/or label.

        Or how some items are exactly the same thing except one is watered down to thousands of times less concentration.

        In rare cases the same item is sold as two completely different things (that seem completely unrelated) at jaw droppingly different prices.

  • fruit on 19/07/2016 - 18:36

    Any good wiper inserts?

    • spackbace on 19/07/2016 - 21:22

      Probably :) 20% isn't a huge saving on wipers, but a saving nonetheless!

  • jelko on 19/07/2016 - 19:00

    I've been meaning to buy a car battery as well. The past 2-3 batteries have been purchased and installed by the RAC but I'm only getting 3 years out of them. Any recommendations for a 6 cylinder Commodore?

    • educalifa on 19/07/2016 - 19:11
      +2

      3 years is pretty decent still… Batteries usually die in the winter as that's when they suffer more.

      • hotwinter on 20/07/2016 - 12:14

        I've seen original VW DIN92 VATAR AGM on 3.2L V6 last for 10 full years!

        • mini2 on 20/07/2016 - 14:56

          I haven't just seen but have a VW battery that lasted >10 years now. Probably on its last leg though.

      • tunzafun001 on 23/07/2016 - 22:56

        Put a charge on a battery once every 2 months (and keep topped up with water twice per year) and it will last 10 years easily.

        In fact, summer is when a battery drains faster. But trying to use it in the cold can expose problems as the reaction is slower.

        When it gets sluggish, tip upside down in bucket and keep, thenflush out (yes it's acid, be vary careful), let lead settle to bottom of bucket, then poor clean liquid back in. Turf lead sludge at the bottom. Top up with water. This will get you 15 years+

        Lastly, Big W do exide batteries for under $80. Further discount with cashrewards.

        • Wiser on 23/07/2016 - 09:16

          Yes Bosch sealed batteries are great
          Had them for four years and still green- means excellent condition.

      I've used Supercharge (http://www.supercharge.com.au/) batteries for a while now. Good warranty (40 months for Gold Plus and 30 months for Silver Plus) and maintenance free while not being ridiculously expensive.

      • Shonky on 19/07/2016 - 21:16

        Note that you can't buy Supercharge batteries at Super Cheap Auto. Autobarn stocks them.

        • nocure on 19/07/2016 - 22:11

          Supercharge will also sell direct from their offices.

        The first supercharge battery supposed lasted 6 years in the 2006 Civic. I replaced it with the same Supercharge gold after that, hoping it will last just as long. well priced and decent battery from my limited experience. 40 month warranty is nice too

    • jelko on 19/07/2016 - 20:35

      I didn't realise the 3 years was standard. Thanks to everybody for their suggestions. :)

      • AlisonP on 19/07/2016 - 20:43

          Do you have a big V6 or V8?

          Three years is about normal for a Commodore. I proactively replace mine after 4 years or immediately if I ever buy a second hand car.

          @LoopyLou:

    Hmmmm, need to get some tyres soon and Kmart Tyre and Auto Service (KTAS) could not find stock of my Continental Comfort Plus 5 (225/55/R16) for my car. They were going to price match and beat the current Jax Quickfit Buy 3 get one free deal. Might go see if they will match the Supercheap Auto deal as I also get free wheel rotations with KTAS for the life of my tyres.

    No bargain for me. Was looking at this head unit which was $114 when you first posted this deal (4 days ago), matching the same price at JB. Now it's $159 and after discount it comes down to $129, more expensive that the non discounted JB price. Hate it when retailers jack up prices before a 'sale'. Negging because this deal isn't really a deal, others were saying the same thing as well. Nothing against you @Spackbace.

    • spackbace on 23/07/2016 - 00:36

      It's 1 item out if the whole store and the sale specifically says the discount is off RRP. Did you really expect a further 20% off sale prices?

      others were saying the same thing as well.

      Where? Most people commenting are happy to get 20% off batteries etc where it's a sizable discount on something that's hardly ever on sale

        A person few comments above. Again, nothing against you. Just wanting others to look elsewhere as well as SCA before purchasing because these 'sales' can end up being more expensive than other retailers for some items.
