      After its success moving into the pet supplies business, Bunnings has revealed plans to expand its range of automotive and electric vehicle products, taking on the likes of SuperCheap Auto and AutoBarn.

      Managing director Michael Schneider said last month the group will carry a larger range of spare parts, auto accessories and EV charging cables than it does now. Bunnings has been pushing into new areas for growth and the recent expansion into pet care has been very successful, driving profits up by 2,1 per cent.

      The move into automotive will most likely work, making the Bunnings juggernaut even bigger. Is the convenience of having just about everything under one roof like at Bunnings or other big-box retailers, or do you prefer a smaller operation?

      Bunnings does not & never will “specialize” by product group like specialists SuperCheap Auto & AutoBarn. You cannot find any staff member at Bunnings to assist or give advice when required by a customer. The specialist auto companies will continue to provide this service & expand their businesses like other specialists in plumbing, electrical, tools & gardening etc. If I need advice I don’t go to Bunnings. I go to a specialist company.

      Tell Bunnings to stay out of that as they are no good at what they now handle , They list have no Service, no body to help, no body knows anything about Products . So Just Stop them before it is too Late.
