Who We Are

RockAuto is a family-run online retailer founded over 20 years ago in Madison, WI with two goals in mind. The first was to make car repair less mysterious by giving each customer all of the applicable information regarding available items and product specifications.

Expansive and efficient marketing has helped RockAuto.com grow to become the leading e-commerce auto parts store.
