No issues in the past but they're not necessarily the cheapest. Good source to find part numbers and then Google search/Ebay/Amazon for the best price.

I’ve had great experiences with chevynationparts.net for OEM parts. Good customer service, fair shipping costs & generally the lowest prices (about 33% off list).

RockAuto.com Prices are good & they usually have parts listed from multiple suppliers so you can pick & choose. For example....for tie rod ends, in addition to AC Delco, they list Mevotech, Moog, Proforged, Ultra-Power, Quick Steer & couple of others.

Rock Auto is hard to beat for pricing, and one can go in whatever price range and company for the products from OEM to aftermarket.
That's where I now buy most of my stuff for the C6 and my other vehicles as well.

I have bought from GM Parts Direct, but have found they can be pretty expensive on their shipping. I recently checked their price on some new door pad switches, and their price for the part itself was reasonable. But their shipping for two of these two small items was crazy high (like close to $20 bucks!). I ended up getting them for the same price but shipped for free from Cultrag (via Amazon Prime).

Always check the Feedback section on corvetteforum.com and always read the terms and conditions and return policies for any company you’re looking to buy from

If you use GMpartsdirect, good luck trying to get hold of anyone if you have an issue. They are impossible to get hold of. I too use Rock Auto, they are great, good prices fast shipping never had an issue. I also use amazon, I got my door pads on there with free 2 day shipping with prime. It pays to shop around.
