Default Car parts

Hi Guys,
Wee Scottish guy here looking for some advice from my American cousins. I live near Glasgow and I have enquired on the UK Lexus Owners' Club as to a decent OEM car parts supplier - I am looking for an air con condenser. I was advised to try out "ROCK AUTO" as the parts are very good quality and very reasonably priced, even with the shipping costs.
Can anyone advise if they have used Rock Auto and if they would recommend them for parts?

many thanks

I have not used any air conditioner parts, but the other parts I have bought from them worked well and lasted.

Rock Auto is a staple here in the US. While I have never had issues with them, it is important to know what you are buying. As you notice on their site, they offer lots of variety for the same parts. Know your brands and know the warranty that comes with them.

Many thanks for responding. Yeh, I think there are 5 different condensers for my make and year but I don't know what is a good make or a bad make. The car goes into my mechanic this Monday morning for a further check,, and he reckons he can source a decent OEM condenser form his contacts that won't break the bank. I have great faith in the guy (used him for years and he's my half cousin), so we'll see what transpires. Maybees I'll need to come back to Rock Auto for the part, bit if not I'll certainly keep them in mind for anything major in the future.

Thanks again mate
