Zero Customer Service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We order many auto parts offline. I don't need help with that, but I ordered some items from RockAuto.com.

Today is day 10 of shipping time. The package has zero postal updates on its tracking number, and we emailed the company and got a generic email back stating we have to wait another 5 days. Well, us being a business and having a customer's car and them waiting, this is ridiculous. We have since had to outsource from elsewhere.

Rock Auto is a totally unreliable company. Their bad business ethics will make you look bad and be so frustrating! Funny, they will take my money instantly. I don't have anything, and then I will have to return stuff that I do not need any longer!

They can hide behind 'we are only online to save you money on parts.' Get into the real world; why are you scared to talk to your customers?

By the way, Rock Auto, phones aren't that expensive anymore. This avoidance attitude sucks!

I received a code number that was good for 5 minutes. PISSED consumer site would not acknowledge the password number

Rock AUTO has no interest in satisfying me as a customer. They are only interested in eliminating employees from payroll it appears to me.

User's recommendation: Rockauto has NO viable Customer Service available and PISSED Consumer is non responsive to their own password input!

This company is a scam and fraud. They do not care about the quality of product they send out OR their customers.

Company fixed the issue and I have been provided with full refund. Email, "service@***.com".

Original review updated Aug 26, 2025

Parts were shipped direct from the manufacturer's warehouse and were faulty (Dorman pre-bent brake lines, a giant waste of time), and RockAuto initially would not refund. After a review on pissed consumer they responded and took the faulty Dorman brakelines back. For future reference email, "service@***.com".

Change shipping address

Updated by user Nov 01, 2025

I needed help getting an incorrect address change. I'm guessing my smart phone filled that part in.

So that's my fault. I was just trying to change it but that was not possible

Did not receive the whole amount back from an order we placed for a rotor that got lost in the mail

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

We ordered a rotor almost three weeks ago for 18.00, and shipping was 16.99. The package got lost in the mail, and the email said that since the rotor got lost, they were going to give us back the whole amount, which would be around 38.00.

We only received 9.00 back. My phone number is 989-600-****. If someone could please call me to discuss what happened, I’d greatly appreciate it!

My name is Carrie, and the name for the package auto-corrected to my daughter's boyfriend's name, but my debit card is what paid for it. Ty

Ordered water pump for a 57 Thunderbird. Part on website said for a 57 Thunderbird but it is not. The part is for a pass car or truck. Spent 4 hours installing it only to find out it was the wrong par

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

Spent 4 hours installing the part, which fit, but found out that the pulley shaft is longer on the passenger car and truck, so the pulley sticks out too far for the Thunderbird. Rock Auto's parts lookup is incorrect and needs to be fixed.

Rock Auto won't take the part back because it was installed.

Lost a longtime customer!!! Idiots.

Customer service or lock thereof to get answers on a issues at no fault of my own, who is a long time a valued customer.

My order made it to UPS; now it is saying my order is being returned to RockAuto's warehouse, and I now have to place a new order??? They provide no customer service options, which means you have no way of knowing what is going on.

Instead, you have to wait for the order to return to the warehouse, then wait days for them to process the return, days to process a refund, and then create a new order, which will take days to be reshipped and delivered. Unless you have extra money lying around, those who don't are screwed.

I shipped my order unopened back to the facility and never received a refund

Still, I am owed $250 for the alternator I returned and never received a refund for. The box was unopened, and the part was not even used.
