Unacceptable service. I purchased a part using their provided fitment guide. I ordered it express at increased cost. It was not even posted until after the original scheduled delivery date. What arrived was not the correct part. I requested a return. It has been over a month, and they have not approved the return, nor have they contacted me at.… Read more
I have contacted them 4 times concerning the return and not once have they responded. Right after requesting the return the part suddenly disappeared from their website and Ebay store, but not a word to me at all from them.
Hugely disappointing.
Despite their good range of products, statements that they ‘care about their customers’ and will try to prevent you ordering incorrectly fitting parts, after several polite emails regarding a product return ROLAN have decided to ignore me completely and don’t even reply, no explanation or answer. I ordered Aeroflow AN fittings with braided hose,… Read more
about $400-$500 worth. It was my mistake, but some of the AN fittings I ordered were for PTFE hose which is not the hose I ordered in the same order. My engine was out of the car being rebuilt, so I didn’t realise within the 30 day return policy, fair enough. I then ordered the correct fittings I needed and emailed ROLAN asking if they’d consider a return outside the normal 30 days for the initial order. Initially I was asked to provide pictures of the products which are still new in their packaging. After doing this I just never received another email. I politely sent two more follow up emails, but still have nothing back in 6 weeks.
Yes it’s been over the busy Christmas period, but I’m pretty disappointed with the lack of even a response, I wouldn’t think they’ve been closed for 6 weeks. I’m asking for something outside their policy, but to just be ignored is poor service in my book. Plenty of other stockists sell Aeroflow for my future needs.

Purchased a brake kit off their ebay store. After confirming details as requested by Franze at Rolan, the order was cancelled out of the blue, stating I had requested the cancellation. I did not make any request to cancel and Rolan has not responded to any queries as to why they chose to cancel this order. Show details

Today I received from Rolan Australia my K&N Air Filter 33-5064 for my new MY26 Subaru Forester e-BOXER. After checking with K&N world headquarters at Eindhoven.Tech@knfilters.com they assured me that while not listed online that the 33-5064 was the right K&N air filter for my Forester. So with a little trepidation I unboxed the new filter,… Read more
pulled out the stock filter and they were a match in size.
So unlike with my 2022 WRX its stock air filter was a bugger to get out and fit the new K&N; the Forester’s was a five minute job taking 10 minutes with these photos. Too easy, no warning lights on the dash and the sticker is now on the air filter cover. Now I only have to register the new filter online. Here is the sequence of photos including the owners manual instructions:
Custom use of T20 Socket in a 53 Land Rover – Parts arrived on time, exactly as advertised. Used for a custom job on a 1953 Land Rover, to add LED lights to the Brake/Tail, as the original globe contacts were corroded, so needed to be replaced. Owrked a treat.
Not delivered on time – I have not received my order as the order has been delayed ☹️

I needed to buy some inner tubes for my historic vehicle. There's plenty of sellers out there, but the prices! Oh my word! Rolan Australia had them, at the best price. Even with delivery, they worked out cheaper than all the others. The online site… Read more
was easy to navigate and the search led me straight to what I needed. Quality of the tubes are superb. I will use Rolan Australia in the future.
Follow-up · To follow up- The tubes are for a military jeep with 6 x 16 wheel size, and a TR15 valve stem is needed. I paid by PayPal and delivery to Perth WA took about 10 days.

Ordering from Rolan Australia was really easy. The website was straightforward, and they kept me up to date with shipping details. Delivery didn’t take too long, and everything arrived in good condition. I haven’t used the Anchor Hi Temp High Resistant BBQ Black paint yet, but I’m confident it will do the job. Great service overall! Show details
Very prompt dispatch. I still need to deburr the inside edge of the fuel tube before being able to use the tool, as it will not slip inside the tube as manufactured in 1978. Tool is well made. Show details · 1

Negative reviews
Dishonest Business Practices. I ordered the part on eBay. Their site claimed to have the part in stock. The next day I'd heard nothing. Not the usual shipping information etc even though I'd paid for express post. I messaged them via Ebay requesting information as the part was urgently needed. No response for another 5 days. When they finally… Read more
responded, they pointed me to their long handling times and that it's been transferred from their offsite warehouse. Well, their 'offsite warehouse' is the supplier's warehouse. Why else wouldn't they respond to my message for 5 days? If they have multiple warehouses, are they 5 days shipping time apart? Why not ship from the other warehouse? They claim to hold the stock, but it's clear they don't. This disadvantages honest businesses that do hold stock. This is one step worse than drop shipping as it takes even longer. I got the part on the 8th day. In Summary, part turned up 8 days later despite being 'in stock' and express post. Not happy Rolan.

The ordering process was super easy, used their car garage feature to ensure I got the correct cabin air filter. Part arrives and it doesn't fit. Asked customer service for a refund and eventually received it but ended up paying shipping both ways for a refund while they "guarantee" right fit!
I placed an order with Rolan Australia around July for a pair of DBA brake rotors that were heavily discounted. I completed the checkout, paid including shipping, and received an official order confirmation. The next day, I was told the order was cancelled due to a pricing error. While I understand these things can happen, what followed felt very… Read more
poorly handled. The product was suddenly marked “out of stock,” and a 10% discount code was offered — but it didn’t work. I tried contacting them four times — three via email and once via their website — with no response at first.
Eventually, they replied with a 15% discount, but by that point I had already been forced to buy the item elsewhere due to urgency. To make things more confusing, the same product was soon relisted at full price on both their website and eBay, contradicting the earlier “out of stock” excuse.
I even filed a complaint with NSW Fair Trading, but since I had been refunded and offered a discount, they didn’t pursue it further — which is frustrating, because it still felt like selective order cancellation rather than a genuine error.
I’m not writing this review to demand the original price be honoured — just to share my experience and how disappointed I was with the way it was handled. I hope Rolan Australia improves their transparency, communication, and customer service in the future.

Bought same ngk ignition coils for 80 Aud each (was on sale though!) which were lowest 175 aud each in local stores in hobart, on time delivery within 2 days and car running great. Happy customer and definitely recommending. Thanks
I recently purchased the Bernstein Torx Screwdriver (T5, 40mm blade) from Rolan Australia, and I'm thoroughly impressed with the quality. It performs its intended task exceptionally well, providing a secure fit without any frustrating slipping. The 40mm blade length proved perfectly suitable for my needs, and the comfortable grip made even… Read more
extended use a breeze.
Purchasing through Rolan Australia's website was a smooth and easy process. The item was delivered in a decent amount of time, and the product I received was exactly as described on their website. It's also reassuring to know that their customer service is contactable via email, which definitely makes buying online much easier. I highly recommend both this Bernstein screwdriver and Rolan Australia for their quality products and service
I forgot to order a product and contacted asking if I could add an item to the order that I placed. They said no they couldn't add the item. I made the second purchase and paid the postage again. Both orders arrived in the one small package. So they could not add another item, though they managed to ship both orders as one. Thanks for the double shipping charge.
Amazing local automotive community focussed supplier stocking quality big brands without the big price tags! Fast despatch and processing timeframe with updates and professional courtesy. Great easily accessible website and now has my attention to become a further source for difficult and uncommon parts. Well done to a small but talented Australian company and team for their efforts and support!
ordered parts for a 2005 subaru outback from rolan and they sent me parts for a subaru brumby, the part number on the bag tells the story, along with its completely different. instead of just accepting they stuffed up I'm asked to prove I have a 2005 outback
MG TF rear brake hoses – Brake hoses for my MG were very hard to find locally and at a sensible price. Hence I was very happy to be able to get them from Rolan who supplied them promptly. Show details
Quality and great pricing – Ordered on the 14/01 arrived 20/01. Very happy with the service from Rolan Australia. Will definitely order again. Just tracking update delays were the problem but that’s due to the carrier “fastway couriers” other then that A+ service.

Great experience – Stock was available to order. Delivery interstate by express post was extremely fast - received the next day after ordering. Great experience!
Don't use this company – They take your money and charge extra for express postage. Then they don't even send you order. Ring and get told that they should of send it a week ago. Still waiting. Trevor
Dodgy – For my first purchase, I completed an application for $10 off. I forgot to use it at the checkout. I contacted Rolan by phone - "can't do anything". An email from them suggested I "try" to use it with my next purchase !!
Stay away - dodgy drop shipper – Would give them a big fat zero if I could. Rolan is a dodgy AF drop shipper. Don't use them. Cheap prices don't mean much when weeks later you still haven't got your parts and your vehicle sits waiting to be repaired. Ordered front and rear DBA pads for a Hilux/Fortuner 2015-2024. Common as muck. Their site states they have parts in stock. They… Read more
don't. They promise up to 3-5 days to process express shipping chosen but 2 weeks (10 business days) later and they still hadn't shipped the goods. Christ, I ordered Bendix Ultimate rotors on the same day from another supplier and they were delivered "the very next day" direct from the Ballarat factory. Called Rolan and a lady starts making all the excuses under the sun about how they have half my order but are waiting for the other half to come in from an outside site. Rubbish! I could have popped into any SCA and bought them off the shelf. For that matter, the Genuine Toyota OEM part is only a few dollars more and is stocked by every dealer. She didn't like the fact that I told her the delay and the total lack of communication from Rolan was very unprofessional. Cancelled the order and contacted my bank to have the card transaction reversed.
Great all round experience – The entire purchasing experience was far superior to the market average The web site was easily navigated and pricing was very competitive Delivery was sensational much quicker that expected
Rolan - disappointed – Even though I specifically requested that this $12 item be left on the wooden box on my verandah, and this was printed on the delivery address, you chose the Aus Post option which requires a signature. I am not home during working hours. The post office is open Mon-Fri only between 9.30am and 5pm. That make this $12 purchase a pain. Why can’t you just read the delivery instructions?
Supply and deliver – Rolan has supplied me with two sets of shock-absorbers. The first fitted, but did not come up to my expectations, so the second set ordered and received. On both occasions the process was easy, and efficient, with delivery to the door. I would have appreciated a bit more information on the products without having to go to another website and then back to the ordering process.
Awesome business – First class service, received product in 2 days from ordering, properly packaged, would definitely use these guys again. Thanks Roland Australia.
