Reliable places to purchase parts online

[CalvinHobbes]

I've checked resellerratings already and I've read through the threads I've found.

Some of the "better" places don't have the parts I need so I was just wondering what places people have ordered from and been happy with.

Parts I need are trunk struts and a side marker light (in case anyone was wondering)

What make/model?

Autozone/advance sell parts like that. They also sell online.


But the best, IMO, online is www.rockauto.com
You can get a 5% coupon to them at Fatwallet.com

Rockauto is great. Sometimes they have OEM parts, sometimes not though. From my experience non-OEM parts made in the US, Europe or Japan are ok - stay away from anything made in China, India and basically the rest of the Pacific rim.

Another vote for RockAuto.

I've heard good things about Rock Auto. I think I used them once but not sure.

 

[CalvinHobbes]

I checked Rock Auto and couldn't find the parts I needed. The side marker is for a honda accord (part #HD1107) and the trunk struts are for a sebring convertable.

Rock Auto is good. Amazon can be good sometimes. I've order most of my parts from www.onlinemazdaparts.com. They carry parts for Mazda, Honda, and Nissan, but I've only ordered parts for my Mazda Tribute from there.

I've bought from autopartswarehouse.com before... also autoanything.com...

That part is probably not that expensive new even as an original honda part.

Try www.hondaautomotiveparts.com, or slhondaparts.com

Not sure about the Sebring trunk struts - I'm surprised rockauto doesn't have that... try autozone.com, or advanceautoparts.com ...

Thanks for info. I did try Autozone and advancedautoparts and came up with nothing. I believe autopartswarehouse had both items and their reseller reviews were okay.

I just thought of another... autobarn.com... (that I've bought from before).

I tried rockauto.com to find an O2 sensor for my mom's Eclipse for less than $100, and they listed about 50 different models of O2 sensors for her car! I think I'll just buy it from autozone because there's too many different ones to choose from.

www.autopartswarehouse.com has always been cheap, reliable and fast whenever I order parts.

Hmm Rock Auto has the O2 sensor I need. Though I've never ordered from them before...

rockauto is just like your local parts store. you're not going to find body parts.

check the dealer. if the price seems too high, you'll probably need to find a place that either specializes in the make you want or sells collision repair parts (for the marker lens....the struts might be dealer only).

Yet another vote for RockAuto - have bought a fair number of parts from them.
AutoAnything has done right by me as well - great customer support, although I have only ever purchased several mats from them.

The cheapest place I found a set of 4 Monroe Quickstruts for my Toyota was believe it or not, Amazon.com. $575 shipped for a set of 4. Struts, springs, isolators, mounts, everything preassembled and it only takes 15 mins a wheel to put them in.

I couldn't find separate struts, mounts, dust boots, and isolators cheaper than that, and those included springs and were preassembled on top of that.

Amazon is a storefront for many vendors though, don't recall the actual source of the parts.

I just ordered a O2 sensor from Rock Auto. We'll see how good it is.

Also vote for Rockauto .. they have a good selection of aftermarket and in some cases, OEM parts. If it is for GM, I like: http://gmpartsdirect.com/ or also http://gmpartshouse.com/ ... they may not order on line but the owner Gene, is a regular on LS1gto.com and has very good prices on his parts.
I also use Lou Fusz GM Auto Parts Tel: 800-325-1492 .. excellent prices, but you must order by phone from them.
