I ordered 2 PCV's for Toyota vehicles I own. It's been 14 days since the order was submitted. The parts are coming from Rochester N. Y. to Florida. DHL's website just says the parts are "on the way" with not other way to contact DHL for a status. If you call DHL's 888 number, it just says to contact the shipper. Rockauto has absolutely no customer service available via the telephone. NONE! On their status/returns website, my order is locked from any other activity until another 14 days passes to give DHL the chance to deliver the parts. I've spent thousands of dollars at Rockauto in the last 15 years and this is the quality of customer service I/we receive. Never shopping there again, will just go to the local NAPA. At least I'll be able to talk to a live person if needed.

Lost order will cost me 100$
January 25, 2022

I ordered parts a month ago. DHL lost my package. But rock auto still wants me to wait another week before giving me a refund. I paid for it to be expedited but that cost will be lost. Now I will need to go by the parts That was supposed to be here 3 weeks ago. Is there a lack of customer service is terrible no one to talk to to explain anything.

I ordered two (2) brake cylinders to be delivered, and was charged a delivery fee. They put the parts in a plastic envelope and when it arrived, it was empty (except for the receipt). It has been a hassle to get a replacement or refund, and looks like I will eat the transaction. They have no customer service person to speak with, and solely rely on a website which is somewhat confusing. I have never left a bad review for any business, however I give the a big "F" for FAIL!

I made a mistake by attempting to purchase a new aftermarket master power window switch as it did not even last for a couple of dozen uses on the drivers side switch. It burnt closed on the auto down function and almost burnt the drivers window motor out because of this but thankfully I had an idea due to my mechanical ability and removed the switch and smashed it to bits and saw it had burnt as suspected. Do yourselves a favor and stay away from these guys and its not surprising to see this is far from an isolated incident after reading the less than stellar reviews. There business name should be garbage parts auto...

Poor Shipping, Customer Satisfaction
June 7, 2022

I recently made a purchase from rock auto, paid an additional $71 to over night, I got half my order the other half 4 days later costing me and my mechanic money for my vehicle sitting in his bay for 4 days. I inquired asking about my order only to find out the aren't set up for questions or concerns so it fell on deaf ears. I would NOT recommend rock auto at all.

Everything I buy from them has a manufacturer defect. There's a reason the parts are so cheap. I just bought the most expensive timing chains they sell and I got boxes that were made in 1960 with seized rusted chains inside. Just go to autozone.

Customer service sucks
November 24, 2023

Paid $50 for express shipping using DHL. Promised Thursday and needed part no later than Saturday. Package delayed until following Tuesday so I refused it. Rock Auto charged me $60 return shipping... Never use DHL and hope you never need help...

Clutch Issues
September 6, 2022

Bought a 200$ high performance clutch. Broke it in for 500 miles and recently after still taking it easy the clutch will slip in second gear. The throw out bearing is bad. The clutch pedal is spongy and honestly was a waste of my money bc I spend 1,000$ on the clutch total and I'm gonna half to turn around and spend more than that bc I cant trust rock auto to buy from them anymore.

Ordered a steering rack, wrong part. Arrived and clearly it had been returned prior. Followed all guidelines to return but had to pay for a new shipping box due to nearly shredded original box. Denied refund because it wasn't in original packaging. Sent pics and explained why. Spent over $300 total(steering rack ad return shipping) only to find out I could pay another $29.17 for part to be returned. DO NOT DO BUSINESS with the piss poor company!
