Autobarn Catalogue This Week

Autobarn catalogue: what the current edition is

If you have ever wandered into Autobarn for one set of wiper blades and walked out with a phone cradle, a tub of wax and a roof-rack quote, you already know why the Autobarn catalogue gets a look every few weeks. The edition we hold right now is titled as a weekly / monthly specials catalogue, runs from 14 October to 27 October 2026 and has 20 pages. It is a page-turner of accessories and car-care gear rather than a grocery-style list, and the images are scans, so what you see is what the store printed.

We do not hold enough past editions to name a regular start day, so we will not guess. Treat the dates printed on the front as the rule, and check them before you drive across town for a particular special. Our Australian catalogues hub lists everything else that is current this week.

Who Autobarn actually is

Autobarn is a car accessories and parts retailer with stores across the country plus an online shop. Wikipedia records that Metcash took a majority stake in Automotive Brands Group, the business that ran Autobarn and Autopro, in 2012 and sold its automotive division to Burson Group, now Bapcor, in 2015. Bapcor's own retail page, as it appeared in search results, describes Autobarn as part of its retail channel next to Autopro and Opposite Lock, and a separate Bapcor Australia page quotes 145 Autobarn stores. Another page from the same company talks of over 130, and neither is dated, so read the number as roughly 130 to 145 rather than a precise count.

Many stores carry an Opposite Lock tag, which points at the four-wheel-drive and touring side of the business. Rhino-Rack lists several Autobarn branches as dealers, and Century Batteries lists Autobarn stores as places to buy batteries, so the shelves go well beyond air fresheners.

Autobarn Accelerate Rewards and member pricing

The loyalty scheme is called Accelerate Rewards. When it launched in late 2022, Franchise Executives reported that members would earn one point for every dollar spent in a store or online, with offers, event invites and discounts layered on top. That article is nearly four years old, so check the current earn rate in the app or on the sign-up page.

One detail worth knowing, quoted from an Autobarn customer-care reply on a Trustpilot page: member pricing also applies in store, as long as the sale is linked to your registered member profile. In practice that means giving your details at the counter before you pay, not after. Reviewers on ProductReview describe mixed luck with redeeming points and sign-up codes, so keep your receipt and take a screenshot of anything you are promised.

Autobarn price match and price guarantee

People type this one a lot: Autobarn price match, Autobarn price match Amazon, and the neat question does Autobarn price match. We could not open an official policy page, because the site blocks automated readers, so we will not state the terms as fact. What reviewers report is a price guarantee that covers a drop in Autobarn's own price shortly after you buy, with one customer saying the window was one week, and that matching a rival online seller was refused. That is anecdotal and may be out of date, so ask at the counter and get the answer in writing if the saving is big.

Autobarn opening hours, Sundays and public holidays

Hours differ by branch. Examples from public listings: Ipswich in Queensland shows 8:30am to 5:30pm on weekdays, later on Thursday and a Sunday session from 9am to 4pm; Narre Warren in Victoria runs later on Thursday and Friday and opens Sunday from 9:30am; Altona North keeps 9am to 5pm on weekends. Use those as a sense of the spread, not a promise for your local.

Public holidays follow state rules, not Autobarn's preference. According to a SmartCompany guide to Anzac Day 2025, non-exempt shops in New South Wales close for the day, most Victorian shops stay shut until 1pm, Queensland independent retailers close until 1pm, South Australia restricts metropolitan shops, and the ACT and Northern Territory have no retail restrictions. Good Friday and Christmas Day are the other big closures, so a Boxing Day dash needs a quick phone call first. Autobarn opening hours Anzac Day and Easter are among the most common searches we found.

Fitting, batteries and other things people ask

Real queries include does Autobarn fit batteries, install head units, install dash cams and do click and collect. An Autobarn Auburn directory listing says staff can fit items such as wiper blades, light globes and batteries, along with car audio and roof racks, and ProductReview comments mention dashcam and headlight fitting done in store. Fitting availability and pricing are decided store by store, so ring ahead with your make and model. We found no official confirmation of click and collect for Autobarn itself during this research, so check the checkout page before relying on it.

Shopping the catalogue alongside the neighbours

Autobarn has plenty of competition for the same driveway budget. A quick comparison with the Repco specials catalogue is worth five minutes, and weekend campers can flip through the Anaconda outdoor catalogue for swags and gear that suit the same roof racks. Anyone fitting out a tinny or a tourer might also check the BCF boating and camping catalogue. Back on this site, the auto, sports and leisure catalogues page puts them side by side.
