In my experience, with the parts that I typically buy from them, that 5% pretty much translates to free shipping. So, it ends up being great prices, with free shipping.

The caveat to using sites like RockAuto is that you REALLY need to know exactly what you're looking at and for. I bought a brake master cylinder from them last year for an old truck I've got that was completely wrong, even though it was listed under the same part number as the actual correct one.

Great post, but I don't think there's any reason to be offended by jayhawkai 's post. He actually made a good point about posting the discount code in the Pinside Car Club thread since that's where a lot of the people who also dabble in the car hobby post, too. Makes sense that you'd want to hit your target audience. He was even poking fun at himself with his "-Thread Judge" signature.

No worries, t's all good. Here's that thread he was talking about:

I'm a pretty big car guy myself but I've purposely stayed away from that thread because I know it'll take up waaayyyy too much of my time!
