Smoking deals. Good for building up the spares war chest if nothing else. Wix private label filters for 1.42. Woot.

I use these guys for everything.  Shipping is high, but if you are placing a big order they do a great job at combining shipping rates for multiple things.  IE: 1 control arm cost me 19.99 to ship, but 3 control arms cost me 21.99 to ship.

Just ordered a dozen oil filters and a couple of clutch slaves. Shipping was 6.99 so not too bad!

Watch as you view items and you should see little truck icons with letters on them for anything which would ship from the same location as something already in your basket. As noted above, incremental items from the same location ship cheap.

I use them for almost everything now. They're prices are great, their service is almost perfect and they are great at taking returns. Sometimes, the item maybe in a damaged box, but I've always gotten new. unused items. Just ordered switches and plugs for my motorhome, a shock for my Jag and struts for my daughters Toyota. Now, if they would just install the stuff for me!!!!!!

 

Hope to see a lot of you at the SEDiv July 4th races at Roebling Road. Always good racing for SARRC points. Remember, this year there is a North SARRC Champion and a South SARRC Champion. Roebling Road points count for both Area Championships. To attend the SIC and race for the SEDiv SARRC Championship, you must have raced at three different SARRC events starting with the September 2015 races.

I think you have to watch what type of items you buy from them. I was rebuilding a street miata motor, the piston rings were not quite right the motor smoked till I put OEM mazda rings in it and the valve cover gasket was to thin and would leak oil, had to buy a thicker OEM Mazda gasket. That was my only experience with them and not so good.

Frank, I always get a number of different  parts offered and not all are OEM. Some are much cheaper. Like buying anything else, you need to be aware that not all quality is the same. Of course, you've already determined that the hard way. Personally, I can't imagine buying race parts from them unless it's the same part # as OEM.

 

But, I'm not getting a fee from them for recommending their parts. So, buyer beware. If it looks to good to be true, it may not be!

 

But, the same Autolite plugs and switches I just got from them were a heck of lot cheaper than Ford or even Pep Boys. Plus, they were delivered to my house without me having to endure customer no service at my local Pep Boys, Advance Auto, pick one.
