I have used them about a dozen times. No problems and quick.

I only wish they had free shipping. Sometimes even with a good price the total comes out a little high.

Have used them many times. One of the first times that I ordered something from them, someone from customer service called me personally to let me know that the specific brand of the part that I had ordered was out of stock, would I be interested in receiving another brand.

More recently, I had to return a part that I thought was defective (in hindsight, probably wasn't), no problem, full refund.


Great company. Dave

Used them many times. Always fast shipping and even with shipping costs usually the lowest price. No problems with any orders that I have made with them.

I've used them once, no problem. Their website works very well to
drill down to the part you need.

Tried them for the first time yesterday

Was looking for some mufflers told to me to be obsolete
They listed they had some

Lady said their system automatically checks to see so if the item is for sale they had them.

She called Walker and checked for me anyway she was very quick about it. Indeed they were discontinued.

She saved me the hassle of "backordering", putoffs and wasted time in general so I give them a thumbs up. Most places wont go to that trouble they just take your order then jerk you around.

i use them a lot since i'm not in the lower 48. even with the S&H, they're often cheaper than local parts houses.

with RockAuto, often you get a choice of brands, at what price, mfr close-outs, etc. if you're not in the lower 48, you need to pay attention to S&H, since if you're ordering multiple items, and they come from different warehouses, shipping locations, the S&H can bite you. they tell you right up front if your order is split between one or more locations (A, B, C).

also watch the shipping cost break points as you increase the quantity.

so sometimes you need to try to find the right brand choice, item category, quantities, to get the order to come from one place, manage the shipping costs, or re-think your consolidation strategy.

highly recommend!

I use them a lot, sometimes they are closing out a certain brand name and the prices are hard to believe cheap. Another place I have been using more & more for great prices is Amazon.

Their closeout specials are great. They recently had C5 ceramic brake pads on closeout for $11. I got a couple of sets.
