Autobarn – It’s Just What We Do
The entire Resto My Ride team agrees, some habits are hard to break—like walking into Autobarn every time we need something for a car.
Car battery? Check. Oils? Check. That one tool we swore we had but somehow vanished into the abyss? You bet.
For 40 years, Autobarn has been the go-to for car enthusiasts, tradies, and backyard legends who know that a proper resto isn’t just about parts—it’s about getting the right things at the right price. Founded in 1985, Autobarn was built by real car heads for real car enthusiasts. And with stores now all over the country, plus an online store that delivers straight to your door, there’s really no other place to shop for all your car needs.
Why We Love Autobarn
At Resto My Ride, we know car restoration inside and out. We Eat, Sleep, Resto, Repeat on the daily and we love nothing more than bringing classics back to life and keeping them on the road, and when it comes to the craft of restoring and modifying cars, we’ve got it covered. But when it comes to getting the best parts and products into the hands of every car enthusiast across Australia? That’s where Autobarn’s got it covered.
They’re the Automotive retail experts, stocking the best brands, and with a team that actually knows what works and what doesn’t. Whether you’re a seasoned Resto pro or just starting your first project, the Autobarn crew will literally steer you right—because, like us, they know and love cars as much as you do!
You Might Think We Only Shop at Specialist Restoration Stores…
Nope. Autobarn isn’t just for grabbing wiper blades and car fresheners—it’s for rev heads like us, too. When we’re restoring a ride, we always hit Autobarn for some of the best gear in the game such as;
✅ Audio & Sound Deadening – A proper Resto isn’t just about how it looks—it’s about how it sounds. Every Resto My Ride project gets Car Builders sound deadening, because old cars are noisy as hell. We want to hear the engine roar, not the road noise — unless, of course, we’re cranking some tunes. Autobarns got that covered, too – Whether it’s retro-style head units or a full-blown sound system upgrade, Autobarn has all the gear to make your ride sound as good as it looks.
✅ Specialist Oils & Lubricants – Old cars are picky about their oil. Get it wrong, and you’re suddenly in an engine rebuild you didn’t budget for. Autobarn stocks high-zinc oils for classics, modern synthetics for performance builds, and transmission/diff oils to keep everything running smooth. And, most importantly, if you don’t know which one your Ride needs? Ask the Autobarn team—they’ll sort you out.
✅ Tools & Workshop Gear – Look, we tell ourselves we’re just popping in for one thing… then we leave with a truck load full of tools. Happens every time. Spanners, polishers, torque wrenches, detailing kits—you name it, Autobarn’s got it.
Oh, and You Actually Get Rewarded for Shopping There!
You know those so-called “loyalty programs” where you have to spend a fortune just to get a free keychain? Yeah, this isn’t one of those. Autobarn’s Accelerate Rewards Loyalty Program actually rewards you for being a rev head—with 20% off just for signing up, plus exclusive member-only deals that actually save you real money – leaving with with more money to spend on your Ride!
Why It Matters
A car restoration is only as good as the gear behind it. That’s why we keep heading back to Autobarn—not just because they stock the best brands, but because their team knows cars, projects, and the struggles of finding that one missing bolt when you’re mid-rebuild.
The Bottom Line
With 144 stores nationwide and 40 years of experience, Autobarn has been helping car lovers build, restore, and upgrade their rides for decades.
So make Autobarn your first stop — ask the team, get the best price (Low Price Guaranteed remember!), and we’ll see you in the aisles! 🚗🔥
