Buying auto parts online?

[the great gazoo]

I buy a TON of ATV/ATC MC parts online & I'm looking to get a few parts for my van, OE or after, I've got quite a few things I'd like to buy.
What are some good sites to peruse?

see commercials about rock auto.com on tv all the time.i have bought from autopartswarehouse.com with good results.

I have used rock auto a few times with good results.

Yeah rock auto is great. Fast shipping, and their oem prices are at least 50% less than my local Ford dealer.

Partsgeek.com is a good site as well.

I have been using RockAuto.com for about 10 years now, never a problem, fast shipping, great customer service, good guys to work with every time.

another vote for rock auto. sometimes you can find supplier closeouts and get real good deals on there

Another vote for rockauto. Just replaced the front hub on my gmc 2500 from them. Half the price of advanced auto/auto zone. Look for internet coupons for them as well. Got an extra 5% off with a coupon code when I ordered.

I've used rock auto. Price is way cheap. I ordered all parts to do front end rebuild on my Mazda pickup. Made sure all brands were the same and got everything in one box. One of the tie rod ends was the wrong part, but in the correct box. Also, the outers were the same part number, but one had a grease zirk and the other did not. I called about the wrong part and they sent athe correct at no cost. I was grateful, but my truck was down for an additional 4 days.

I assume the troubles I had we're the result that they are a ginormous warehouse with many places they get parts from and a million orders per day. Wasn't a big deal, but I had to borrow my dads spare suburban for my daily commute of 100+ miles a day. That was almost enough wasted money in fuel to do the front end rebuild another time.

What parts did you need? I sell a lot of OEM engine stuff, gaskets , bolts, pistons, cams etc etc etc.. PM me never know I may save you a bunch of money!

In addition to rockauto which is the overall cheapest, and Samurai guys, you can get some stuff at better prices from amazon.com. Summit racing has some stuff also.

[the great gazoo]

Wow, thanks for the replies! Im at work now but will check in later

[the great gazoo]

Rock Auto kicksass! I just checked out & will use them again!
Samurai Guys, I looking for exterior & interior parts, nothing engine/transmission related but thank you, TGG

Rock Auto, and I sometimes will find the oem part number and then look it up on eBay to see if I can save a few bucks. I actually do this with quad and trike parts also

Im a rock auto, Summitracing, Jcwhitney kinda guy lol

[jb2wheels]

Another Rock Auto customer here. Never had an issue. Had a few warranty claims settled without issue.

Summit is great, too. Not just for hotrod parts. I bought Dorman window regulators, stock replacement brake rotors, etc. Also good with returns.

If the prices are close and/or I need it now, I'll buy local. But the prices aren't usually close. Like the plug wires I bought for my Lincoln were, literally (and I know how to use "literally" correctly) 1/2 price - even after shipping. Nearly $40 saved.

get a friend at autozone. ask him what parts costs. then go to rock auto. write it down. then go in person buy what you need for the rock auto price plus his either 10% or 20% discount he will give ya.

This is how I get my parts.

Besides that all others Just ebay.

[Dirtcrasher]

I love RA, sent there by DEEPA. Just be REAL careful with them. If you need a 15/16th wheel cylinder for a dual wheel setup, you better make sure thats what you have.

I myself made stupid mistakes on there and for the 25$ to send it back and eat the part, I ate it! But their selection is HUGE!! Lots of DORMAN parts too which are like the rotating "help" display at your local auto parts store......

They are great on the phone as well; Then you can get their name and blame it on the , :lol:
