    Hey Friend, I just want to ask some advice that I saw a water Pump for my 2013 Prius on Rock Auto that is way cheaper than my local auto part store and other web store(Amazon). Any advice or tip on their store. Thank you.

    I've bought a few items recently, for an old Honda, an oil, it's gasket, an extra rim (refurbished). It went ok, good price, fast shipping, well packed.

    It depends what you're looking for I think. Do they have Aisin WPT-190? That's the non Toyota-branded water pump used on third gen engine coolant.

    oil, coolant, etc, but not critical functioning parts like pumps

    I don't buy anything on Rock Auto but, instead, have found a few Toyota dealerships up in Denver that let's you order and then go pickup parts at around a 20-25% discount over MSRP.
