Frank Gentry Review of RockAuto, LLC
I discovered Rock Auto a few years ago.

If you don't need the part tomorrow, and want to spend less money than at the local parts store, it would be worth your time to check them out.
I am a professional mechanic and I compare prices. Two local auto parts stores with which I have commercial accounts and "special pricing" can't match prices with Rock Auto. The only advantage is part availability... if they stock the part! If they have to order from another store or the warehouse, that advantage disappears!
I note that several reviews complain about erroneous orders, defective parts, slow shipping. You can experience these things at your local parts store as well... and pay more in the bargain! Personally, I have yet to experience any of these things in my dealings with Rock Auto. Items arrive well packed, delivery time is usually faster than promised, and I have yet to experience problems with an order.
I worked in an auto parts warehouse for several years. I can tell you that NO auto parts store has a perfect record on all counts. But this store comes very close.
Two thumbs up.
