Right here, if you are looking for a part that isn't something easy* like struts, spark plugs, etc this is the step I feel the entire GeoCities era website fails. Under which of 37 different incorrectly worded categories or assemblies is the part under and what completely terrible name (so poorly abbreviated it is impossible to search) is the widget called? And I do have about a decade of experience working in commercial HVAC parts so I know a thing or two about looking through parts diagrams.
*And frankly if I am looking for something simple like that, almost a commodity then Rock Auto really does not fill a niche. For me at least. But yes, if you want to find brake pads it is probably a great system. Now a rear power window motor (sorry, 'tertiary subdr motr") that is labelled an exterior part on an interior diagram as part of the frame subassembly....not so much.
But like I said, I could be the minority.

I recently buy from Amazon more than RA as I found Amazon price + free shipping is lower. Of course I buy "shipped and sold by Amazon" only. I've got nameless or counterfeit parts that don't work from 3rd party sellers on Amazon.
Amazon has hidden filter by seller but it is still possible by a URL parameter. After your search just add "&rh=p_6:ATVPDKIKX0DER" to the end of URL. With that filter on, you see same brands as RA: felpro standard denso walker ... plus oe brands, sold by Amazon.
Amazon's user review is valuable resource that RA lacks. Many times I got installation and fitment tips from other DIYers that I cannot find in product info
Caution on RA's house brand Ultra Power. It's no better than Amazon 3rd party seller trash. I bought 6 fuel injectors 3 of them leaked. I bought a valve cover gasket it leaked badly. I later bought a felpro gasket it was much thicker than ultra Power and did the job.
Don't rely on rockauto parts if time is of the essence. They literally sent me 1 TMPS despite the invoice saying a quantity of 1 of 4x TMPS sensors. Went to a local parts store and just paid full price for their duff.

... you don't even have to do all that.
there's literally a search bar once you expand the motor option of your car (if applicable or else it will already open if your model only had one motor)
you type in "window motor" and the matching and related categories pop up, choose the one you want, choose the part you want.

be careful with even if shipped and sold by amazon you're still susceptible to counterfeit goods due to amazon's binning and commingling of product/inventory.
ultrapower is usually a rebrand "house label" of another vendor. the hint often lies in the model number being shared by the major national brand, and whether or not the gamble is something you're comfortable with.
Google RockAuto promo code. Anytime I order anything from them, a quick Google search always gets me a 5% discount. Literally have done it every single time for the last 15 years.

Thank you bro. I just placed an order yesterday but it already shipped. Hopefully I remember next time. Prices are great but shipping price and speed sometimes kills it.

So in my example of "so poorly abbreviated it is impossible to search"...."'tertiary subdr motr"" I just type "window motor" and it will cross reference "tertiary subdr motr." LOL...okay.

This is true, but I ordered from them anyway on Tuesday and didn't think about looking for a discount code
Items arrived in two days by lowest priced ground shipping. Said fedex but came by UPS.

Only downside is they charge for shipping and you could get hit with multiple shipping charges if your products are coming from different warehouses.
I don't know if you guys knew this but here is the link to the RockAuto discount code megathread on slickdeals that has new updated discount codes.

First, you scroll to your car.
Then, you go to the kind of part you're buying

Penny saved is a penny earned I guess, but that's not enough to make me feel like im getting a deal to bite on anything.
