Half Price Quality Parts!!

Maybe I am a bit slow learning this, but I am currently doing a disc swap with my rear brakes, and replacing all hoses in brake system. I was very pleased to find the Rock Auto has save me between 50--75% off what A.zone charges--and these are quality names like Bendix, Raybestos.

It is very satisfying to find deals like this.

Rockauto is great for things like that. The only thing to watch is that their shipping prices are insane. Often, though, the discounted price + the insane shipping is still less than the cost of getting it locally.

A trick to Rockauto is that they only charge shipping for each warehouse an item comes from. If you can pick through the different options available and get them all from the same shipping location, you can save a bundle of money. When I did my brakes, it was originally about $60 for shipping for all the parts. I sifted through them again and picked different vendors that all shipped from the same spot, and got the shipping down to around $15 - $20.

Overall, their prices are great! And they have a lot of stuff other places don't.

I agree with both of you..... my 94 is wearing a lot of their parts. even bought both gas tanks from them, a savings of $150 on that purchase alone

RA is a great source for parts for all kinds of vehicles. I've been a customer for years. Great customer service when a problem arises. The customer discount helps too! Tom is a good guy.
