How to reach RockAuto customer service
RockAuto does not have a phone number for customer support. The company handles all inquiries through email, a contact form on their website, and their FAQ section. If you have a question about an order, a return, or your account, you will need to use one of these written channels — there is no live chat or telephone line.
The fastest way to get help is to check the RockAuto FAQ first, since many common questions about shipping, returns, and part compatibility are answered there. If you cannot find what you need, the contact form on their website will route your message to the right department.
Key Takeaways
- RockAuto has no phone support; all customer service goes through email or their website contact form.
- The FAQ section on RockAuto's website answers most questions about orders, returns, and shipping before you need to contact them.
- Response times vary, but RockAuto typically replies to contact form submissions within one to three business days.
- If you have an order number or account email, include it in your message so the support team can find your information quickly.
Using the RockAuto contact form
The contact form is on the RockAuto website under the "Contact Us" link, usually found in the footer of the page. You will need to fill in your name, email address, and a description of your issue. Be as specific as possible — mention your order number if you have one, the part you ordered, and what you need help with.
RockAuto sorts incoming messages by category, so choosing the right topic from the dropdown menu helps your message reach the correct department faster. Common categories include order status, returns and refunds, shipping issues, and account problems.
After you submit the form, you should receive a confirmation email. Keep that confirmation and your order number handy — you may need them if you follow up.
Emailing RockAuto directly
You can also email RockAuto at the address listed on their website. Check the "Contact Us" page for the current email address, as it may change. When you email, include your order number, the email address associated with your account, and a clear description of what you need.
Email responses typically take longer than contact form submissions because the form routes messages to specific departments. If your issue is urgent — for example, a part arrived damaged and you need a replacement quickly — mention that in your subject line so the team knows to prioritize it.
Finding answers in the RockAuto FAQ
Before you contact RockAuto, search their FAQ section. It covers shipping times, return policies, how to track an order, what to do if a part does not fit, and how to update your account information. Many questions are answered there in detail, and you will get your answer when ready instead of waiting for a response.
The FAQ is organized by topic, so you can browse by category or use the search function to look for specific keywords. If you search for "return" or "refund," you will find the full process, timelines, and what condition the part needs to be in.
What to include when you contact RockAuto
Include these details in any message to RockAuto so they can find your account and help you faster:
- Your order number (found in your confirmation email or account)
- The email address on your account
- The part name and part number you ordered
- A clear description of the problem — for example, "part arrived damaged," "wrong part shipped," or "tracking shows delivered but I did not receive it"
- Any photos of damage or the part itself, if relevant
The more specific you are, the faster RockAuto can solve your problem. Vague messages like "my order is wrong" take longer because the support team has to ask follow-up questions.
Response times and what to expect
RockAuto typically responds to contact form submissions within one to three business days. Email responses may take longer, especially during busy periods or weekends. If you do not hear back within five business days, you can submit a follow-up message, but include your original message details so the team knows you have already reached out.
When RockAuto responds, they will either solve your problem directly (for example, issuing a refund or sending a replacement part) or ask you for more information. If they ask for photos or other details, send them as soon as you can so the process does not stall.
Tracking your order without contacting support
You can check your order status yourself without contacting RockAuto. Log into your account on the RockAuto website and go to "My Orders." You will see each order, its status, and a tracking number once the part ships. Most parts ship within one to two business days.
If your tracking number shows the package was delivered but you did not receive it, check with neighbors or household members first. If it is truly missing, that is when you should contact RockAuto with the tracking number and delivery date so they can file a claim with the carrier.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does RockAuto have a phone number I can call?
No. RockAuto does not offer phone support. You must contact them through their website contact form, email, or the FAQ section. This is their only customer service channel.
How long does it take to get a refund after I return a part?
Refund times vary depending on the warehouse and the reason for the return. RockAuto's return policy page explains the timeline for your specific situation. Once they receive and inspect the returned part, the refund is usually processed within one to two weeks, though it may take longer depending on your bank.
What if I ordered the wrong part by mistake?
Contact RockAuto as soon as possible with your order number. If the part has not shipped yet, they may be able to cancel it or change it. If it has already shipped, you will need to return it once it arrives and order the correct part. The sooner you contact them, the more options you have.
Can I change my order after I place it?
It depends on whether the order has shipped. Contact RockAuto when ready with your order number and explain what you need to change. If the part is still in the warehouse, they may be able to modify it. Once it ships, you will need to return it and place a new order.
What should I do if a part arrives damaged?
Take photos of the damage and the packaging, then contact RockAuto with your order number and photos. They will usually send a replacement or issue a refund. Keep the damaged part and packaging until RockAuto tells you what to do with it — they may ask you to return it or dispose of it.
