Default Best place to buy Chev OEM parts?
I need new hood struts for my C6. Zillions of place to buy them online.

Who's the good, bad, and the ugly?

There was a good seller at "that other place" but I don't remember the business name. Was the guy named "Gene" maybe?

Did it come down on your head? How about Napa or Advanced Auto?

I was an AC Delco distributor for many years and just gave my seat up on the new products committee recently. I agree with Rikki, Rockauto is as good as it gets. They negotiate their buy/sell prices with distributors like me to stay at or below the competition plus your search shows all warehouse in their network and sends your parts from the closest supplier that has it in stock.

Ha, no, but it would.
