Amazon Australia is now selling over 800,000 automotive products online.
The product expansion includes products for motorcycles, motorhomes and caravans, with brands such as Castrol, LiquiMoly, Rhino Rack, Mothers Car Care, Ctek, Uniden, OSRAM and Dometic.
Accessories like floor mats, car care and audio equipment typically bought through Autobarn, Burson Auto Parts, Repco and SuperCheap Auto are now in competition with the e-commerce giant, which has 23 categories of automotive gear purchasable with just an internet connection.
Tools, batteries, engine components, brake parts and body repair equipment all have their own category.
Under the “heavy duty and commercial vehicle” category, similar options are available, however truck-specific parts do not appear to be available through the site.
