Supercheap. Your management and whoever chose to use StarTrack clearly don’t care about Supercheap or its customers. Supercheap Sunbury is 30 minutes from me in Romsey, yet the product... See more

NOT supercheap

purchased a cleaning product for $22. 1 hour later saw exactly the same product in Kmart for $12.

Not exactly "supercheap"; almost 100% more costly than another shop.

When I took the original product back to supercheap Burleigh, under the company's price beat guarantee, they tried to tell me that was for 'members' only, and argued with me.

FABULOUS service

Today - 8th April - and a SUPER Busy Discount day. As I walked in I encountered Barry ( Riccarton SuperCheap Autos) who found the rear wiper that I wanted. Walked outside with me to my car - fitted it - and took me back inside to be served by Emma who was also friendly and helpful!

Supercheap Hectorville unhappy customer

Supercheap Hectorville has a female worker Amy that has no idea how to mix paint.
The car paint code was supplied on 9 March 23, she asked a co worker via telephone the measurements and still messed it up.
I used two cans to spray my bumper and the red was well off.
I contacted customer service and sent pictures as requested, 2 weeks later I’m still waiting.
I have since purchased oil and other items from another company.
Not happy supercheap, those two tins cost me $80.
Supercheap hectorville manager Tom gave me a full refund and I spent it in store.
Thanks Supercheap

@Supercheap linwood

@Supercheap linwood. Ordered steering rack bushes on friday and got told they would be delivered to store in 90 min from a different store downside is it basically doubles the price, 45 min later get phone call to confirm parts and that it would be there in the morning, The morning rolls by and at noon I swing by to find out what the deal is, the deal is the parts were not delivered and that they now will be in the store on monday. Monday rolls on and yet still no call and low and behold no bushes and further inquiry is that they would be further off, so got a refund because paying $128 dollars for a $65 set of bushes was fine for a 90 min wait but not for a 4+ day delivery. So $70.64 later they are ordered from some guy up north. Guess who isn't getting money anymore.

Poor Customer Service

Rebecca @ Supercheap Auto Maitland, Click and Collect, today (10 Feb 2023) needs urgent training in Customer Relations.

Rebecca barked at me about parking requirements, as there is no clearly marked parking bay for Click-and-Collect, and that they are not allowed to signage a parking bay.
Rebecca growled about being at risk of being hit by a passing car in the parking lot, from me being parked parallel to the front of the shop, beside the Click-and-Collect signage which is on the pole near the shop wall.
Rebecca snarled at me, to get out of the car and lift the boot lid for her, as she didn't want to touch it in case, she broke it.
She then lunged off back into the shop without any pleasantries being offered.

I was left thinking that either Supercheap Auto doesn't value excellence in Customer Relations and experience, or, Supercheap Auto employs supercheap low-value people.

Major improvements needed on your customer, and Click-and-Collect Experiences, as well as having quality employees, Supercheap Auto MAITLAND!

Absolutely terrible service and a waste of time!

Absolutely terrible service and a waste of time, I bought rotors and brake pads as special order items from NZ with an estimated delivery time of a week or so. 4 weeks later absolutely nothing. No items no emails, nothing. After emailing customer service several times I was eventually told "it's special order, it takes longer" kind of response. I asked for a refund as I needed the parts urgently, a week later I was told that the Australian warehouse where my parts were coming from had no stock and couldn't complete my order. Nearly 5 weeks to be told they have no stock. And now I'm waiting 10 days for a refund, go to Repco, was sorted out there pretty quickly and it was cheaper. Local store here is Palmerston North is awesome and the manager was extremely helpful so wouldn't extend my bad feedback to local stores, but online ordering is absolutely terrible just stay away from it, it's not worth the headache. Left extremely annoyed and frustrated.

They are a joke

They are a joke. Returned 2 dash cams for refund. Ordered online one arrived in a disgusting condition. Think it was a return or display. Broken and incomplete. Could not get a replacement as no stock in NZ. Returned both as was for my 2 boys. Customer service confirmed I was getting a refund. Then a email saying only one. Now where do I go. Never again

Blackburn store

I went to the Blackburn store on Whitehorse Road after talking on the phone with a staff member who was very helpful. But when got to the store my experience was different. I had to deal with the manager who I think needs to be retrained in customer service. Perhaps take some lessons from her staff.

Terrible Customer Service

I purchase car headlight bulb online plus the installation. I went to Burpengary store to collect the product but the girl(cashier) said the system is down so I suggest to buy another car headlight bulb and refund the one that i purchased online. She said okay,its fine!and then she called the guy named BRIAN who will fix my headlight bulb.BRIAN came in and check if the bulb is working or not but unfortunately they are both not working. I asked him what are we going to do? He said,This is strange!it could be the relay. I will call an electrician because both lights are not working, I suggest, What if we replace the bulb first and if it’s not working then we have to call an electrician.He said! nah! i won’t do it.He’s just being LAZY,BRIAN’S Customer service is just terrible.

I went to REPCO to get my car headlights fix.They fixed my car headlights in just 10 minutes. Do not need electrician for the job.
The job is to replace headlight bulb.

Very dissapointed

Ordered engine oil, online through there site, I put in my registration for my Barina rs. It showed the exact 5w-30 deox2, (in this case Penrite 6 litres) it showed only 1 supercheap far away with the special. I ordered and got a 6 litre 5w-30....But was valvoline for diesel. Completely useless to me. First time using there online. Won't again that's for sure!

Special orders are scams

Special orders are scams. They have a estimated delivery date on there website but the the date in the order tracker will keep postponing automatically every day after you ordered. My order is now about a month and they only say they are going to call the supplier now but no follow up afterward. It's better to buy from AliExpress at least AliExpress has a promised date that you can get your money back...

Poor Service

Went to Super cheap auto Porirua NZ. Ordered and paid for an air filter for a Mazda 3 which had to be brought in. They ended up just quitting out, saying it was all too hard, and gave my money back.
Useless.

Abysmal Customer Service

Over several years in between, I have visited the Roma, Dalby and Warwick stores in Queensland, and concurring with other reviews, staff could not be any less interested in serving customers. They must be trained that way as there is no other explanation for it. They appear busy and may say hi while speed walking past you but fail on the simple check of 'do you need help?'. Even when you do get to ask for help, you are made to feel it is the most inconvenient thing they have done in their lives.
Please, spend your money elsewhere even if it costs more.
After a couple of years, I ventured into a store recently and lasted 5 minutes before going down the road to a competitor and having a nice old chat to the salesperson. That! is how you do business.
