Needed some emergency brake pads tonight (for a Lanos) and found our local auto pro (Gungahlin) has already closed down. :(

Very sad news.

The boys pumped lotsa $$$ into getting this place back up and running, even got Lamattina to bring his T/F dragster down one evening, its a real shame to see this place closing down.

Didnt know Autopro Gungahlin had closed either, im guessing there isnt much demand for a auto parts store out there.

Not when they insult u with some of the prices charged - double on almost everything I needed when I went in there last, I didn't buy a thing, drove over to autobarn belco and got what I needed, it's a shame but u need to be at least competitive to stick around these days even with a captive population.
