First, I must say that I have no connection at all to Rock Auto. I'm just p***ing along a Discount to anyone that might purchase parts from www.RockAuto.com. It's been a great resource for myself, when looking for part numbers and ordering brake, ch***is, engine, and a ton of other different replacement parts. Anything from late model on back. I ordered EVERYTHING I needed to rebuild the F100 brakes for my Model A Roadster project, including seals and bearings. The parts, through Rock Auto, were quite a bit cheaper than purchasing through NAPA (for example). Here's the email I received from them, explaining the Discount: _____________________________________________________________________ <TABLE style="MARGIN-LEFT: auto; WIDTH: 761px; MARGIN-RIGHT: auto; TEXT-ALIGN: center" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=761 border=0><TBODY><TR cl***=ecxhide_printed><TD id=ecxbgheader colSpan=2></TD></TR><TR id=ecxbgfade><TD width="50%" height=85>Discount on RockAuto Parts! </TD><TD> </TD></TR><TR><TD style="TEXT-ALIGN: left" colSpan=2 height=85> Thank you for being a www.RockAuto.com customer!

Not affiliated with them either, but they DO have a great catalog and a lot of parts for old cars. I use the online catalog for researching parts #s quite a bit.
Hey Malcom, thanks for posting the dicount code!! i've ordered a bunch of stuff for my 58 desoto from them and I use the site all the time for demension and interchange data. a lot of the desoto stuff is'nt made anymore and with this site i was able to find interchange to plymouth part numbers. without that i dont know if I would habe been able to find all the brake rebuild parts I needed.
I just ordered motor mounts from them before I saw this . Oh well , they was still half the price of local which had to order them too .
Thanks for the heads up. One of there wharehouses is right here in Cedar Rapids. I get all my genuine GM stuff there way cheaper than the stealerships sell them for. I think they are the GM wharehouse for the area.
Yup, use these guys all the time, no one stocks Caddy parts so I order alot from them. Always quick shipping and detailed online catalog. Also the catalog is a good source for part numbers if you just want to go to a local parts store.
I guess I just look at it as a way to say "Thanks for your business". Also, since I posted this for anyone to use, and it says right in the email to p*** the Discount Code on to anyone, you can be a first-time customer and still get the discount. I know, not much, but still better than no discount at all... I did have a 10% off deal from them a while back that expired before I had a chance to use it. If you don't like the deal, don't order from them. There are plenty of other places out there that will sell you the exact same parts.
You can often find RockAuto codes at sites like RetailMeNot(dot)com. They aren't trying to cut a deal for recurring customers. It's applicable to everyone.
Do you own your own business? Lose 5% of your income just for kicks! They could offer nothing. I'm just sayin'.
The only issue I've had with Rock Auto is the way they hammer you on shipping if your order has to come from 3 different warehouses like the last time I used them.
Thanks for the code! I just used it to get a pair of 54 merc tail lights and some stuff for the wife's daily and saved a couple bucks.
Guy's it good to post the discount code, just keep updating this thread. BTW don't ever ***ume rockauto has the lower prices. Always check the part numbers at your local auto parts stores. You might find yourself saving on some shipping or core charges if you have a core to return. Also some of the pepboys/o'rielly/autozone type places do site to store. I've ordered many parts from rockauto but have also found deals at local retailers too.
Anybody else have problems with their credit card after using it with rockauto? I'm not saying it was somebody who works there, but the only time I used the card in the last month was to buy something there and the next day it started racking up the bills in Italy . . .
Which could be from any number of reasons, ran an antivirus or spyware detector lately? 5% is $5 on $100. Considering they're already $25 cheaper on the part I need, I can deal with it.
