True, but they also sell good quality parts. Everything is direct from the manufacturer, so nothing should be fake. I.E. a denso sock should be from denso, and a decent quality part. Or a walbro pump should be real, ngk plugs are real, etc.

Unless you know of proof of them slanging fakes, which I'd love to know.

 

New flash
Every auto parts retailer and wholesaler sells shitty parts. Mostly alongside medium and very high quality parts.

I've never received a mislabeled or inauthentic part and we've gotten maybe 300 shipments from RA in the last 20 years.

 

Walbro 450 because that was the smallest pump that was listed as E85 compatible on their site, so maybe I'm just overpumped and thats the main cause. I'm going to be switching to a Walbro 255 with the stock hangar.

 

So where do you put all the magnets? Do you stack the repeats or just continue the collage?

 

I just have issues almost every time I order from them. Either the wrong part, or a used/returned part, or a bad part. They have no quality control, just a few people and tons of warehouses.


The last time i ordered front control arms for my 911, I received two rear ones. They were packed into the correct boxes, but they were not only the wrong parts but a completely different brand. To top it off one of the ball joints was completely dead/floppy and the other had a different ball joint altogether with a lock nut instead of a flare nut.




I've always wonder if they are the first to get QC rejects. This is similar to HD and Lowes getting worse parts of the exact same thing from a place like Ferguson.


anyway.

 

I don't think RockAuto has QC in the way we all think about it. They're just a warehouse distributor. It's just boxes moving around to them.
