Is Altrom not just repackaged parts? Sort of like Beck and Arnley? I find it's hard to judge quality if I don't know who actually manufactured it.

They have an in house brand called Ultra-8

But they are an importer as well

Rockauto has treated me very well over the years, they let me refund a timing belt kit I ordered (but didn't install) 6 months later . Prices are tough to beat and usually even with the cheap shipping option it's ~4-5 business days before the part is at your door. And as has been said not difficult to find an online discount coupon to knock a further 5% off.

Yet another +1 for RockAuto (for the generic stuff). I think there's a niche site or two out there for each manufacturer, but it really depends on what you're looking for.

rock auto and primechoice auto parts.
prime choice can be cheaper than rock auto and alot faster (but less selection)I ordered a wheel bearing for my 06 titan and it only took 4 days from Ontario. also only $84 canadian shipped to my door.
rock auto wanted about $150.

Working on getting that added. But for now easiest is emailing a list

Also have a link to the Altrom Catalog: https://store.gtrauto.ca/pages/oem-parts

Do you ship in town? The shipping is one of the main perks of buying online

Yes shipping is not a problem! We ship across Canada and USA everyday. Locally we also have a connection with a courier service

Prime Choice parts are cheap because they are often the lowest quality generic junk. Rock Auto has a full range depending on what you're willing to pay. They have cheap low quality stuff too, but atleast you know who makes it. For higher tier parts, Rock Auto usually has most local or online sources beat for pricing if you're willing to wait for the shipping.

I'm under no illusion that im buying the best parts. it's pure chinesium but the price is right so why not give it a shot.
so far ive put 5k on the wheel bearing and no complaints yet. The rock auto white box part was $150 and napa's white box part was $250 even with wholesale discount (I'm a mechanic)
I would not be surprised if the generic Chinese part from prime choice is the same supplier as the generic white box rock auto or napa part.

Perhaps true. But I can get two wheel bearings for less than 1 from RA. I would be ok with that even if it was a temporary fix.

Rockauto for me. /Even extremely simple things like, like the order I'm making this week. Air filter, and cabin air filter, including shipping is less than at Canadian Tire or Autovalue (and a much better brand)

I need door window glass for both sides of my car... Cheapest I've found is on eBay.ca, "international priority shipping", says 8-20 days, should I do it? I've never really bought anything this big in eBay...

after a hell of a long time because of things happening in my personal life, I did end up ordering from RockAuto. Wasn't able to find decent deals locally, even including from the one beyond sponsor who posted in this thread. Did the front brakes including new rotors on the Odyssey today. Parts were good, everything fit together fine once I realized the new pad clips were slightly different than the factory honda pad clips. Went out and bedded them in according to procedure. So if you saw a white van doing panic stops out by queens park cemetery, that was me.

All in all, I have been happy with my experience with rockauto and I will use them again in the future with no hesitation. Now off to cambodian tire to pick up some 0w20 synthetic oil on sale for when the van needs it's next oil change . ..

Are you still looking for this camera? I can pass hook up pricing to you but I'm in Edm. If you want Calgary, go see my bro David Tavares @ MB Country Hills. He'll take care of you price-wise but it still ain't gonna be cheap as online though

i usually use https://www.fcpeuro.com/

Just ordered 4 strut kits from RockAuto.

[ExtraSlow]

Might be putting in a bigger order shortly. Considering shipping to MSO in sweetgrass to save a little on shipping. Although, it may be a wash compared to fuel etc.
Was looking at AutoPartsWay because of the free shipping, but it seems like they don't carry the parts I wanted, or thier website sucks, because I can't find brake rotors for my truck there (2010 Chev 2500).

[ExtraSlow]

What's with that autopartsway website. They also don't sell brake rotors for My wifes Odyssey. Aren't brake rotors like one of the most common replacement parts?

Rockauto is what I use. Often even cheaper than what I can get through work.
