Repco is a leading supplier of automotive replacement parts and related services in Australasia

Repco has been awarded Australia’s Major Retailer of the Year for 2026, with the leading automotive parts and accessories retailer presented with the coveted prize by the Australian Retail Council (ARC) at the ARC Retail Awards 26, a gala event held at the Ritz Carlton in Melbourne in June.
The ARC’s Major Retailer of the Year award recognises large-scale retailers that demonstrate innovation, growth, and exceptional customer service at a national level across Australia’s $444 billion retail sector.
The ARC’s 14-strong independent judging panel of retail leaders and industry experts selected Repco for the sought-after prize ahead of local hardware chain Bunnings.
Kathleen Long, General Manager of Retail at Repco, and Amy Frangos, Chief Operating Officer at GPC Asia Pacific, Repco’s parent company in Australia, accepted the award.
“This award recognises the more-than 8,000 Repco team members in our 300-plus stores who make our business the trusted go-to for vehicle owners and automotive trade business across the country,” Kathleen said.
“As well as offering the biggest in-store product ranges, our passionate people reflect the needs and interests of our customers, which underpins their exceptional customer service every day.”
To secure the award, Repco had to consistently demonstrate innovation and growth, even in times of uncertainty, and had to show it had established itself as a sought-after employer and respected brand in the market that prioritised delivering a unique and exceptional customer experience at a national scale.
Vehicle owners, automotive enthusiasts, independent workshops and DIY repairers have chosen Repco for parts, accessories, car care products and garage storage items since 1922.
Repco supports customers in Australia and New Zealand with access to more than 450,000 items, available via www.repco.com.au and from 325 Repco stores supported by around 8,000 knowledgeable and passionate team members.
