good point!
(I meant to bring this up too!)

You need to watch near check out;
Sometimes you need to select seven versions pf the same part to source a part from the same warehouse as other parts in order to save on shipping.

I have bought from them a number of times, never received the wrong part.

Their parts prices are good, but their shipping prices are not.

With decent discounts at local parts places, if the parts are available I order them online and pick them up. With the discounts and no shipping, they'll be less expensive "all-in" than from Rock Auto.

I did once recieve an "extra" part that wasn't on my invoice;
I believe I deduced it to being a factory replacement Mustang conical air filter...
I contacted them and asked if I should send it back, they told me to keep it;
So it went in the garbage.

They have the best prices on auto parts hands down. I need to do front brakes on Avalanche and rotors with pads will probably be about 150 shipped. Try doing that at any local parts store, not going to happen. I could probably go real cheap and pay a hondo for rotors and pads. I will say local parts places have better warranties though. The core price is kind of a rip off since you have to pay to ship core back, which comes out of core price from Rockauto. I do like the 5% discount codes makes a person feel like they are getting a even better deal.
