Default Rock auto ROCKS!!!

I just ordered a few oem parts for my 2003 and Rock auto was 65% less and 40% less than two other places I checked. My shipping was $8.99. I've been very pleased with their service and prices in the past.
Oops; the shipping was $6.99

They really are the only place to buy parts, unless you need them in a pinch locally.

They are great until their system recommends the wrong part.

Same experience I had with them. Can't beat their pricing.

Especially when you're buying AC Delco. Amazon is very competitive.

Rock Auto is all I use if I can help it; I've saved hundreds of dollars I'm sure.

That's what I did with my last purchase. I think it was c6 z06 shocks, AC Delco. Cheaper than rockauto and got free prime shipping.

I use Rock Auto quite a bit too, and have had very good experiences with them.

Don't forget to google search for rock auto coupon codes. You can nearly always find a 5% off coupon.

They also have one of the best return policies. No questions asked (well, just the standard return ones...).

I too ordered a complete tune up kit from them for my 94 Vette and was impressed with their service and quick shipping and prices.

who told you this?

1. amazon has a killer return policy if it does happen
2. if you deal with amazon direct which is who sells most delco you will not even take the chance

rock auto is great and i order from them often but on delco specifically amazon usually wins
