I placed a rockauto order last Friday and they delivered on Sunday, even with the cheapest shipping option. I was impressed!

Rockauto must a favorite brother who runs their shipping department. Always quick shipping.

Love Rockauto!! Get most of my parts from there and FCP Euro. Avoid ECS Tuning like the plague. They are 35 mins from my house and I still can’t get stuff delivered or picked up.



Not minority enough!

^^^FCP Euro is DEFINITELY another stellar performer here! I've always impressed that their FREE shipping option (obviously the cheapest!) always arrives via Ground UPS, and always seems to ship the same day I place the order anyway! That, and their website is particularly AWESOME as well, making detailed comparisons of the OE, OEM and aftermarket parts EXTREMELY Easy! I've been buying ALL of my auto parts there since they were FCP Groton....And it's a WAY Better experience than the Volvo dealer!

I used ECS a lot back in the day when I had my Audi. Of course that was way back when weeks to get something delivered was the norm.

I bought headlights for my car from Rock. Website ease of use (the parts chain stores here should take note of this), quality of product, communication, shipping, all right on the money. I'd use them again.

That is what I got.
Toyota OEM are $290 each from the dealer. RockAuto had TYC brand which are supposed to be the best aftermarket reproduction brand there is and supposedly make a lot of OEM housings.
They were $175 each. Figured I would give them a shot. They appear to be very well built and wired well.
I bought the full LED headlights from the newer trucks so have to have a custom harness so everything work as it should.
Fella is out of OEM connectors and hopes to have them at the end of the week.

TYC is also what I got. For my 2009 Corolla $107 OTD, with bulbs even. They throw a better beam than the original.

<sarcasm>The only thing I see wrong is they should have hid the box under the welcome mate</sarcasm>

In all seriousness, rock auto is GTG - I used them darn near exclusively in overhauling my last Jeep and they were essential. Now FedEx on the other hand, well they get more right than wrong... and in their favor, they are not the USPS

Have used Rock Auto for years
As a caution, my only suggestion would be that you make sure 1000% of what you are ordering is correct
While ordering, shipping, is great, returns are a bitch
Everything is handled online
No human interface, otherwise gtg.

Not a home mechanic, myself, so have never used it. Garage Squad on TV orders all their parts from them.

I have spent lots of money with Rock Auto.
I have my vehicles saved on their site and every few months they will send an email with all the close out parts they have for that model.
I have got some silly deals.

I got Motorcraft (Ford OEM) Spark plug wires for my turbo motor Mustang for $8.50 usually like $40.

Don’t recall shipping ever being that quick. Price for that size box is silly cheap.
Toyota wanted $68 for shipping the headlights.

Just placed an order minutes ago, also $11.99 FedEx Ground. And I just found out my new BMW takes the same oil filter as Mrs. Lee's old one. So that's a two-fer.

I had a return with them a year ago. I absolutely ordered the right part and it didn't come close to fitting. I sent them a photo of their part next to the factory one and they sent me a return label. It was no problem.
