We've observed in the past that Costco car batteries are cheaper than sale prices at Supercheap Auto and Repco.
Now they're an additional 25% off.
If your battery is more than 3 years old it might be time for a replacement before it fails.
Stay safe and have fun
I don't think that would fly with the Australian Consumer Law.
"Your rights under the consumer guarantees do not have a specific expiry date"

Yeah that's what I thought, yet was advised that since it's a club and not a wholesale/retail store, there's different rules they're held to.
Learned the hard way and rather others not get burnt by their unsavoury practices.
Thanks for the info. I have something that I need to return, I'll renew my membership first.
That is true sheep.
Warranty is provided by the manufacturer, not Costco. As for being scum, I think it is a pretty harsh word to use. The rules of membership are clear, so yeah, if you don't like it, don't choose to become a member.
Costco, as the agent selling the items, are legally obliged to represent the manufacturer upon behalf of the end user (There are a few exceptions, yet the majority of cases, they're legally obliged, well supposed to be).
I know it is a harsh word to utilise in describing a company and it comes from direct first hand experience.
They refused to action flat soft drink and refused to refund membership immediately after that, when I explained that if they don't stand by the products they sell, I want no part of their bullshit.
Which store was this?
I have cancelled membership twice, with no questions asked.
I have returned a few things basically because I didn't like them, opened/used/washed/non-resaleable, no questions asked.
Seems odd. Costco have a reputation for awesome returns policy.

Yes I'm still a member. But mainly for petrol and certain items 😬
anyone have any idea on the price costco has for the K3 karcher?
249 before discount
whats the typical car battery cost @ Costco after discount ? How much cheaper than Supercheap / Autobahn / Repco are we talking about ?
There a shiploads cheaper. I just bought one two weeks ago for a XR8 and it cost me $106.00. Same spec battery at supercheap or Repco is $185 / $200.
Wish I would of waited for the 25% off as I haven't even used it as yet
Costco has 30 day price guarantee. Just go to the refunds counter and they will credit you the difference.
Neg away ignorant human. What I said is the truth.
Ahh thanks I didn't know that
Car batteries are ridiculously cheap! I got one for $97 instead of $130… even that is cheap.. a branded battery was around $400 at supercheap.
Bought one for my other car without discount and it was at least $50 cheaper than the cheapest online store.. THat was the largest battery exide make as well.
I've been hanging out for this 25% off to buy another
To note, any warranty you have is voided if you do not have a current membership.
Otherwise, if this has 3 years warranty and fails after 18 months and you bought membership just to buy it, you lose 18 months warranty.
Costco are scum!
