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.

We used to buy plastic 5 gallon buckets. The bucket was 2.14 and the lid was 1.30 each. When they went to this system we could only buy in counts of 10(about 6 month supply, not really a big deal but annoying) and a count of 10 was 83.74, old system was 33.40 for a 10 pack. No one really cared as 50 dollars to a company making 30+ billion a year was nothing but...

Also so much time wasted jumping between the various systems which costed way more than 50 dollars.
