Somehow, they have only gotten better over the years. Clean, simple layout. Clear concise descriptions and photos, color coded for pricing options. Search works INSTANTLY perfect every time. literally type in 99 camry rear brake shoes BOOM you’re on the listing. That’s big in today’s world where search is complete shit.
Every time I visit their site I’m so happy it works. Then I’m angry how the rest of the internet has been enshittified to hell.
Keep it up Rockauto!!
*Runner up: craigslist. site works perfect, no reason to change.
Yeah Rockauto is pretty awesome, and the collapsible-tree navigation thing they have going on on their site is pretty slick. The only times I don’t buy from them are when I need parts right now (local auto parts store) or if I can’t find them there (eBay, misc online storefronts). My fridge is covered in their magnets
I see those magnets as XP badges for every time I spent $200 and some educational (if often tense and frustrating) hours instead of the repair shop’s $2,000.
