I=E2=80=99ve grown careful of my dealings with RockAuto. Many times =
they have the lowest price on the face of it and great product =
descriptions, but when you put an order together the shipping sometimes =
negates the savings. The last time I had a problem with RockAuto and =
was trying to get some assistance there was a dialog box along the way =
that said the site was fully automated and that there was no in person =
customer service. I believe there was a list with about every issue you =
could possibly have and a step by step to go through and resolve it. I =
was able to resolve my issue in this fashion. On the other end of the =
spectrum I got an OEM bumper for my truck at over $200 under the dealer =
price and the shipping was about $30.00 on that item.
Best,
Bob
