Rock Auto prices are very good. But, as mentioned above, just wait until you try to return something.

They also advertise parts as "Moog", for example, but then add "Private Label" to the description. So who knows if that part in box labeled "SRT" is really made by Moog? Nowhere on the box or the part does it list the country of origin.

And beware their "Wholesaler Closeout" deals. I did get a nice USA-made master cylinder in a beat-up dusty box for a crazy low price, but then also got an alternator belt that was hard as a rock. It must have been sitting on a shelf for 20 yrs. I think what they do is sell old inventory that distributors took back from parts stores that went out of business. And no way would another parts store accept it. So enter Rock Auto!
