rockauto vs. partsgeek

which do you prefer and why?
I noticed they are much cheaper than autozone, advanced, pep boys, bennett, etc... for parts.. same model numbers and all
are there any others that are better? whats your feedback?

I've been ordering from RockAuto for a few months now. Nothing wrong so far. I haven't tried PartsGeek. All their parts have good fitment and arrive in a timely manner. I've ordered A LOT of parts from them, given my car needs A LOT of work. The more you order, the more often they give you discounts which is nice. I have no say in PartsGeek...SO, RockAuto is a go

I've ordered from rockauto a few times and never had a problem and shipping is fairly quick. Also be advised that just because you are ordering from rockauto that doesn't mean your getting quality parts, they have different quality just like anywhere else.

My dad bought aftermarket replacement headlights for my mom's Subaru from Rockauto. The brackets that they came with did not fit the car, so he had to jury-rig the new lights up with the old brackets, which was harder than it should have been. Be careful with aftermarket, even buying from a 'reputable' store

Ive been buying from RockAuto for many many years now. Never had an issue. Had to deal with them on warranty issues with a part once and it was as simple as one could ask for with no fighting or hassle.
