Who is Auto One
In 2013, Auto One received a 4-star rating for customer satisfaction for their auto stores. They are one of the biggest automotive retailers in Australia. We take a look at why customers we surveyed were so happy with their stores.
The people behind the counter
Auto One was founded back in 1988 when 10 independent parts and accessories retailers got together to make one unified brand to compete against the corporate companies who were taking over the market. Auto One remains an independent group that is owned by its Members through shareholding and run by franchisees.
With the motto “Right gear! Right advice!”, you know you’ll get the product and information you need when you visit an Auto One store. You can even use their DIY how-to video guides or their YouTube videos to do your own car servicing using products available in-store.
How many Auto One stores are there?
In 2015, Auto One had 65 franchisee-run stores running in Australia, after having only 50 in 2014. You can find your nearest store using the finder tool on their homepage or on their store finder map tool.
