I use rock auto alot.
They ship from the United auto parts warehouse out of Syracuse ny, so I get parts next day.
I have also learned that if you need to order a bunch of parts at once out of that location order them separately
I have had them contact me to consolidate the order and save Shipping costs.
Maybe I've been fortunate

Wright,

On YouTube I find South Main Auto, and Pine Hollow Diagnostics pretty good.

They also both agree that most aftermarket parts are questionable at best.

Thank You All for your information.

When looking at Amazon can get the same parts through them as Rock auto. Now is there a brand name that anyone would recommend like DTA, GPS, APWI, Bode-man, Cardone, etc....

Find a place with a good return/warranty policy is the best you can do they are less likely to sell junk parts if they have to make things good on those parts.

I needed a passenger side mirror on my wifes caravan cause "somebody"...hit a mailbox set too close to the road, lol....thought I could just replace the glass but the whole mechanism was shot,,,,Found the parts on Amazon, ordered the mirror first then the whole unit, returning the mirror was no problem, the whole unit fit and worked perfectly, free shipping, returns are easy, part was cheap...

Yes, looking for all the outs restrictions when ordering is worth the time.

I just ordered the parts from Amazon just for that purpose and they also stand by fraud etc. so it is a done deal. Hoe all goes well but if not it is not the end of the world.

Thanks for all the great help and fast responses.

Rock auto. Need to know what parts you need. No issues.

I just cancelled my order with Amazon because of 4 weeks to get the part. I ordered with Rock Auto from all your advice. I hope all goes well and they are online ordering only no ordering ovah the phone.

Thanks Everyone.

Rock Auto is good take a good look at the photos they charge you to return items sometimes the vehicle has different options for the same vehicle.

Thanks Law. I hope Ii don't have to return. Ohh please No.

When I bought from Amazon, there was several vendors with the same part , the prices did vary some...most had a good way to confirm the part to the vehicle, just type in the VIN....

sometimes you need to did deeper to find what you need.

Napa
A-1 -through amazon I think it was
Amazon
Rock

I use Napa online all the time with the pickup at store or ship to store or home option.

I can order parts and send someone over to pick them up and yes I pay a little more but the return process and core process is so simple just not on Sunday.
I frequently get 20% off by ordering online and picking it up in a half hour or so.

Amazon watch reviews but the returns are at least easy.

Rock , is great for looking at stuff, if you are ordering watch very carefully that they are not shipping from different warehouses and the shipping costs.
returns have to be shipped back even if you are in Madison and minutes from the warehouse.

I have a co-worker who uses rock often , I just tend to worry about the return , it is not that uncommon for me to get the slightly wrong thing and have to exchange it and with Rock that is not easy

can you trust any brand any more , Dorman quality has suffered to the point where the local shops try very hard not to use them if possible.

we used to like Dorman stuff pre 2020

Thanks for all the great info. I called Cardone Parts and got some great help. Amazon had a 1 to 2 month ship time and I could go to a half dozen other online stores and they could ship the product the next and all had the parts I was looking for. So, I ordered from RockAuto they shipped the part yesterday delivery time is Tuesday of next week.
Not sure why the wait time with Amazon but I beleive that Cardone didn't have any in warehouse.

rock auto although i learned you shouldnt buy the ecomomy parts i always go with the daily driver or heavy duty. always fast shipping and easy returns if needed.

True shouldn't go cheap. I'm trying to save a little money but want parts built in USA or at least most built in the USA. The brand I went with says built in Pennsylvania.

Amazon when ship times are long is generally a reseller that is importing parts on an as needed basis

you can check the Prime box and generally filter those options out.
