RockAuto: any auto parts from the USA
Every car will need repairs at some point. It will require the replacement of some parts, and that can be a major headache for the driver. Where do you find them, how do you search, will they fit? And if they do fit, won't it be too expensive? Fortunately, in America there is a store called RockAuto, where you can find any part you want, and at very attractive prices. The selection here is, without exaggeration, hundreds of thousands of items. Including ones that can't be found anywhere else.

What is RockAuto
RockAuto was founded in 1999 by a family of auto mechanics. They got tired of long searches for the necessary parts and decided to create their own portal that would aggregate them all in a catalog format.
20 years have passed, and now RockAuto is a popular online store for car owners, motorcyclists, ATV enthusiasts, hoverboard lovers, and even motorboat owners. It is not just a place to search for goods, it is a place to buy them. The company has several dozen warehouses located across the United States. The website design remained simple (it has barely changed since 1999), but behind it now stands a large machine.
Thanks to the company's size, minimal investments (even in the interface), working directly with manufacturers, and the absence of extra taxes in the US (especially when buying in states like Delaware and Pennsylvania), the store maintains uniquely low prices. Even taking into account payment for delivery from abroad, parts here cost several times less than from Russian intermediaries.
RockAuto also provides free consultations on vehicle repair. There is also the Repair Index Calculator tool (at the bottom of the page), which allows for a global comparison of the cost of parts for two models.
The store's slogan reads: “All the parts that could ever be of use to your car.” And this is the absolute truth: they have every part, and not only for cars popular in America. For example, hundreds of parts for the Niva and Samara are easily found here. And for Nissan, for instance, you can get engine or ignition system parts for models from 1958. And this is far from the record: Peugeot has parts dating back to 1949.
RockAuto has any auto parts. From rotors, spark plugs, and filters – to handles, bulbs, doors, and wheels. Over a hundred car brands, including the beloved LADA. And the oldest parts date back to 1909 (for Ford). You can literally trace the history of each company on this site.
A part on RockAuto can be found either by part number (if you have it) or by the vehicle it is supposed to fit.
RockAuto offers delivery to Russia. But the cost is very unpleasant: the store uses standard Priority Mail services, with prices starting from $60. Within America the prices are completely different; for not very heavy parts it is literally just a few dollars.
Therefore, if you want to save several dozen dollars, before ordering from RockAuto, register at Pochtoy.com. You will get a free US address that can be used when ordering goods. Enter the information from your Pochtoy.com account into the Shipping fields, and when your item arrives at the company warehouse, choose the option to ship it to Russia. Pochtoy.com delivery to Russia starts from $12 and is as fast as possible, taking 4-8 days. All shipments are insured, plus you can combine parcels from different US online stores for free into one large shipment to save even more.
