rockauto closeout parts hack

I can’t take credit for it, but it’s pretty damn awesome…

I discovered a way to quickly find all closeout parts offered for a specific car without clicking every parts category.

  1. On the home page, click on the big red start button to start the “Interactive” catalog.

  2. Towards the bottom of the page, look for
    “Catalog display problem? Click Here for the traditional HTML version.”
    This will take you to the older style catalog search.

  3. Search through the catalog till you find your specific car model.

  4. Your address bar should read something like “http://www.rockauto.com/catalog/x,carcode,1333381”
    The numbers at the end is your car’s code #.

  5. Use this link, but replace the Xs after “carcode=” with your car’s code.

It takes longer to read this than to actually do it. Enjoy

Nice find. Too bad all they have for me is relays and light bulbs.

They send me emails periodically with closeout stuff for my Z already but this is kinda nice.

Unfortunately they have things on the list that don’t apply to my car like spark plug wires…
