About The Pitstop Bookshop
Who We Are
The Pitstop Bookshop is a specialist motoring bookshop based in the Central Business District of Perth, capital of Western Australia. Opened in July 1995 at 48 King Street before moving across the street to 33 King Street in July 2000, The Pitstop Bookshop is the only dedicated motoring bookshop in Perth.
Occupying over 300 square metres, we stock over 7000 motoring book titles and 1000 motoring DVD and video titles. The Pitstop Bookshop also stocks or has access to workshop manuals for cars, motorbikes and some trucks as well as marine engines. Stock lines are continually increasing with regular orders from US and UK suppliers, as well as Australian wholesalers.
What We Do
We have an established mail order clientele with customers in every state of Australia and overseas - in fact mail order is a large proportion of our business. A toll free phone number, 24 hour answering service and computerised stock control system ensures that all customer orders - whether by internet, mail, fax or phone - are handled with ease and efficiency.
Where We Are
The Pitstop Bookshop is located just one block west of the Hay Street and Murray Street malls at 33 King Street, one of Perth's most historically interesting streets. You'll find us underneath exclusive French luxury goods retailer Louis Vuitton in the lower ground level. Our entrance is off Munster Lane, alongside Louis Vuitton - look for our green Pitstop sign above the cobblestone laneway.
We are only a 5 minute walk south from the Perth Bus Station on Wellington Street and about 8 minutes from Perth Railway Station. Free CAT buses run along Hay and Murray Streets nearby for easy access and there is parking readily available in carparks at the St George's Tce end of King St and in Murray St too.
Pictured at right: Just 30 metres from The Pitstop Bookshop is His Majesty's Theatre, a Perth landmark on the corner of King St and Hay St.
Free Newsletter
A regular colour newsletter is sent out to all Australian customers on our mailing list advising of new releases and special offers about every 6 weeks and we also keep our customers up-to-date with a weekly email broadcast too! Please email us if you would like to receive either or both of these and we'll include you on the list.
