haha, no I have never dealt with Don or Jamie. As far as FCP goes I have no complaints what so ever with them. Also, when I buy a part I don't really care who I am buying it from or how nice they are to me, I just want the part. Therefore, customer service ranks pretty low as far as what's important to me.

Apparently all of these recommendations for Darrell Waltrip Volvo have led to them being a victim of too much success. I just tried to order a couple of items and Don told me he was so covered up with orders, he would have to call me back tomorrow.

Thank you for being a www.RockAuto.com customer! To show our appreciation, we have a special discount for you.

Your discount code is:

26658512206481


Using Your Discount Code
Enter the code above in the "How did you hear about us" line of the shopping cart. If you are using our traditional HTML catalog, please click the "Apply" button to the right of the field. Your discount will automatically appear, subtracted from your order total.

Please note: We sometimes get calls from people who put the word "discount" in front of their code and do not get the discount. Please enter ONLY the discount code, no other words or numbers.

The discount takes 5% off our already-low prices. There's no limit on order size or the number of orders. Use the code for your next order, and share the code with friends, neighbors, relatives, the guy at the corner garage--anyone you know who works on cars or trucks.

This discount code expires on March 7, 2010; so don't wait!


Share Your Experience
I hope you are happy with the parts you purchased and that your car or truck once again performs as it should. Please use the RockAuto wiki and the Reseller Ratings website to share your experience with others. When I finish a repair on my car, I know what tools to use, what other parts have to be removed to get to the one I'm replacing, what fluids will splash me if I'm not careful, and other useful facts I wish I'd known when I started. I also can recognize the symptoms more quickly if the problem happens again. Recording this knowledge in the wiki (http://wiki.rockauto.com) helps others who need to fix the same problem. It may even help you if, like me, you sometimes find yourself replacing the same part years later and struggling to remember how you did it the first time! Click the part number on your order confirmation to find the wiki page for a part. If you do not have your order confirmation, open the RockAuto catalog, look up the part you purchased and click on the blue question mark at the top of the part window. I invite you to share your experiences shopping with RockAuto by clicking the "Reseller Ratings" link at the bottom of this email.

Thanks again for buying your auto parts at RockAuto!

thanks to all who posted on this... great feedback saved me more time and $ than I would have by dealing with the cheapest of suppliers.
Got the car fixed real nice with parts from various recommendations, and a great mechanic who works for $45.00 here in Ontario ( when everyone else is $90.00?hr++).

thanks again,
