Auto parts stores online

[TrondOscar]

I am going to buy quite a few parts for my -98, and due to the weak dollar and strong Norwegian Kroner I would like to buy from the US. I need to find someone that has everything in one place, and are willing to ship to Norway. The parts I NEED are:
-Brake discs and pads, all 4 corners
-Shocks, all 4 corners
-Sway bar links, tie rod ends, upper balljoints, with bushings and everything
-One front wheel hub

The parts I WANT are:
-Original (!) cargo barrier / dog guard (For cargo, not dog)
-Bug deflector for the hood
-Vent visors all four doors
-The kind of light-bar that aldive has his auxilliary lights on

Anyone know where I can get it all, or at least the "needed" ones from one dealer?

FWIW....never have liked J.C. Whitney's quality. Since you are across the pond, that would be a concern for me. Rock Auto is amazing. However, they don't own a single part. They are a "broker" for several warehouses. And if you have something you need to return as defective, etc., they aren't so good. You pay the freight to the several different warehouses they picked from. Eats up all your savings. Summit is a great place to deal with. Good products...great customer service.

ONLY problem with Summit is that you can't get some of the stock replacement parts. They are awesome for aftermarket parts and accessories though. I usually get my parts the day after I order too. That obviously won't happen in your case, but would probably be faster than most others, LOL.

JCWhitney does have some cheap junk, but they also carry alot of name brand stuff now. I got my Rancho shocks from them and the transaction went smoothly.

Welcome RockAuto_Ashley -- its always a pleasure ordering from your online store.

 

[BrooklynBay]

Do members of this site get a 5% discount or is this just a general discount?

 

[RockAuto Ashley]

It is a discount that we give to all our repeat customers and certain enthusiast groups. We encourage customers to use the discount code to introduce their friends to RockAuto. If you ever don't have a current discount code, you can usually find them posted on this forum. Then after you place an order with RockAuto, you will receive an e-mail with a new discount code, for your future orders!

JTSmith has several Q & A threads for EF vendors. Maybe he or another moderator could start one for you?

Ashley, if you guys really want to be a world class operation, figure out a way to take back your defectives without costing us the freight back. Right now, I have approximately $150 worth of merchandise from you folks that's defective. (not bad considering I bought a few thousand dollars worth) But it needs to go back to about 4 different warehouses. It is not economically feasible to do that, so I'll just let it sit. Maybe all defectives could come back to one location and you guys can distribute from there? But when I can buy parts from my local WD and take them back for immediate credit when defective, it makes much more sense for me to buy there...as long as he carries the lines I need.

Cobraguy,

Thanks for buying parts at RockAuto. One way we keep part prices low is by having customers ship returns and cores directly back to their final destination rather than collecting them at one warehouse and then trucking them somewhere else. For example, cores might go directly to the remanufacturer and returned parts might go directly back to the manufacturer or to the warehouse where they are stocked.

Forum members can read more about returns and cores at http://www.rockauto.com/lang/en/policy.html Customers can return parts and cores just by entering their order number at: http://www.rockauto.com/orderstatus/orderstatus.php and then following the instructions. Links to both the above pages are also found at www.RockAuto.com

"Defectives" sounds pretty bad. Please contact RockAuto Customer Service at 1-866-762-5288 or service@rockauto.com if you ever have questions about a specific order.

Well that figures....
I spent about $1k on replacement parts at local stores in the past couple of weeks. I could've saved a couple hundred $$ at RockAuto with their lower prices and then the discount.

Most of it was emergency or short notice, but still, that's how my luck goes.

Silver X,

Please keep us in mind for next time! We'd love to supply you with the parts you need for your car!
