RockAuto.com question

[Skeazzy]

I'm Planning on buying some odds and ends for my cb7 from rockauto and I was wondering what your opinions were about this site. Also, how long is estimated shipping time??
Thanks,
Skeazzy

they are amazing! dirt cheap prices and they ship SUPER quick. cant go wrong. search google and you can usually find a 5% discount code, too.

I've used them a number of times. Their products range from expensive high-end parts, all the way down to super cheap crap. It's great to have options, but always research what parts you buy. You often get what you pay for. Sometimes it's not worth buying the cheapest parts they offer.
For example, I bought the cheapest AC compressor available for my Fit. The shop had to do some modification of the lines to make it fit, and it only lasted a year. Not RockAuto's fault, as they sent me the part I ordered, quickly. Still... the low end stuff is DEFINITELY low end!

Anyway, you'll find a thread stuck at the top of this section that is often updated with RockAuto 5% discount codes. The thread was started by a RockAuto representative. I allowed them to advertise here for free, because they've always treated my members well.

Thanks for the info. I will be buying a master cylinder,door bezel and o2 sensor from them here in a week or so.

Be sure the o2 sensor is NTK or Denso. Stay away from Bosch.

Thanks Deev. Through my lurking I've noticed that Bosch seems to have a bad rep.. Anyways, I should be getting a female o2 sensor correct?? I have a 93 accord Lx.

I'm not sure. As long as it's the proper one for your year and trim, it should be correct. Just don't buy anything for an EX or SE.

Yeah I bought cheap crap from them and that's exactly what I got "junk", if I were you I would stay away from the cheap stuff on their site.

my experience was spot on. I ordered from them 10+ times and they were large orders($300+)!

shipping was pretty fast and neatly packed.

I stay away from brands I dont recognize. Most of the stuff I bought, were " preferred " items and usually they were name brand stuff.

yup, same here. it's pretty much the only place I order parts from. the benefit being they have a full range of selection, from super cheap disposable stuff, all the way up to name brand quality. you need to know what you are choosing, though - many times you will even see the same brands that they carry in Autozone/Advance/etc (where they typically only carry a single option), except the benefit here being that its usually much cheaper (for the same part) and also delivered to your door. They also have an excellent return policy, and an easy-to-use core return system. I really like how they indicate "preferred" parts (so you know what everybody else buys/recommends) and they also often have closeout deals. Can't go wrong, in my opinion.

Really? I've had trouble with some of the recommended items but it wasn't the expensive stuff it was the cheap stuff.
