My trusty Tundra appears to need a new oxygen sensor, and rockauto lists them for fully half of Napa or O'Reily. Did I hit gold or is it too good to be true? | ||

I've bought from Rock Auto before... no issues at all. I'd do it again. God bless America. | |||

I bought struts for my sons F150 almost half the price of Pep Boys, and they were brand name. What I like about them is they offer different price ranges/ quality levels for your price range. So I had no problem with them. | |||

Yep. It's a go to for parts. | |||

I've bought from Rockauto multiple time without issue. The last few years though it seems their shipping has gone up, especially when items are coming from different warehouses. Lately I have found myself ordering the part from Amazon. The prices are very close to Rockauto but usually with Prime shipping. I do love the selection of different brands though. I'm a stickler for good quality parts and are willing to pay for them (vice some cheap no-name part from Autozone). I don't care if the local joint has a cheap lifetime warranty part, is the counter guy going to come replace it when it fails in six months? | |||

Haven't ever had any problems with them. They have a large inventory and generally good prices. Another one is partsgeek.com. They often have really low prices and ship from all around the country. Up until a few years ago their communication was poor although they always can up with the goods. They seem better now and shipping speed is much better. ___________________________ Avoid buying ChiCom/CCP products whenever possible. | |||

The ONLY issue I have ever had is the lack of good pics of the parts. If you know EXACTLY what you are looking for, you’re golden. But some of the mid year or special model stuff can get sketchy sometimes. That said, I’ve had excellent results with them. | |||

They are good to go. Google their discount codes. They offer 5% off quite frequently. Not much but every little bit helps. _____________ | |||

I like Amazon real well as an alternative, especially for NGK/NTK or Denso sensors... Won't use anything else in Japanese vehicles, period. They are OEM down to perfect fit and appearance, QC, proper looking and functioning connectors, long life, etc. ______________________________ Nitro smoke rewards a long days toil... | |||

Yep. They ship your order with a magnet show a rebuilt car that used Rock Auto Parts. I have 36 magnets. If you look online you can find 5% off coupons. | |||

Ordered lots from Rock Auto for various vehicles (Subies, Toyotas and parts for relatives). Like dedguy said, they have multiple manufacturers for the same part AND sales on overstocked or old inventory. Great prices. Never had a mistake on an order, either. Just watch the shipping prices on line items. They ship from many warehouses. Their newsletter is entertaining and informative, also. drendean | |||

You can also get overwhelmed with options. In your local auto parts store you may get two or three choices. On Rock Auto you can get ten, twenty, thirty choice. It pays to do some research on brands and learn who to avoid. I've used Rock Auto countless times. I've only had one issue with a wrong part, more the makers issue than the sellers. Dead of winter the job was put on hold and didn't learn it was the wrong part till well after the 30 return window. (like 3 months). They were still willing to work with me, took them back for "store" credit. _____________________________________________________ Sliced bread, the greatest thing since the 1911. | |||

Good for me so far. Had to order a wheel bearing hub assembly for my Tacoma. Rock auto was more than half the price compared to say Advanced or Auto Zone. Same exact part and part number.But you had better know what you are ordering b/c they have no customer assistance to call and ask about the part. ...You, higher mammal. Can you read? ....There's nothing sexier than a well worn, functional Sig! | |||

Adding to it, yes. Best proces along with Amazon. | |||

I’ve used them for lots of various parts and one complete long block for my 2002 f150. The only downside is the shipping from multiple locations as they’ll charge multiple shipping fees which can eliminate the savings. If you’re only getting a few items it’s easy enough to maximize the shipping the efficiency but I about went mad when I was ordering the long block and all the other parts needed. | |||

They have What the Denso site lists for $49. Now, should I just change the one throwing a code, or change more at the same time? | |||

What code? A heater element code, a cat efficiently code, or a rich or lean code? | |||

I change the offender only, and it's always nice if it's the easiest one/s to access. In my experience, it seems upstream ones fail more often/before than downstream, YMMV. I'm sure you know this, but hitting the old one with some PB Blaster/Kroil is a smart move, as is having the correct socket... can really make the job a lot easier. Good too to clean/chase the threads, and a dab of the proper anti-seize applied for future ease of removal. ______________________________ Nitro smoke rewards a long days toil... | |||
