Rocket Industries?

[NickR33]

hey guys, quick question...

Just about to order from Rocket and heard a horror story...(I won't go into it on here) and now I'm thinking twice... maybe just a fanciful story but it sounded really bad...

If anyone has any positive feedback on these guys please post it here...

any negative comments please pm me...

Thanks in advance

Nick

My pistons came from Rocket and they showed up promptly at a good price too. Also spoke to them on the phone on several occasions and were very helpful. Gets an A+ from me.

They are the national distributor for a massive amount of brands and parts. I would place money on every "performance" workshop dealing with them at least once in their lifetime, alot of places get over 60% of their parts from Rocket.

As with any large company, of course they are going to have bad stories. Anyone ever heard that KFC chicken story about a chicken cyst?

thanks guys...

anyone else?

The thing that is worrying me is that I got a quote via email, took note of the part numbers etc, gave the details to my engine builder and he rang to place the order... But the price they quoted him was a few hundred dollars more expensive...wtf (and he would be getting wholesale prices?)

Am I just being paranoid?

I think you're probably just being paranoid. I too got my pistons through rocket quickly and for a good price. They get the thumbs up from me

I know lots of places that deal with Rocket, so I'm sure you wont have any issues.

they've been around longer than you can imagine, in such a tight-knit industry if anything serious had ever happened, you would know about it...

for rocket!

I ordered my pistons thursday afternoon 3:00/4:00 and they arived friday morning around 10:00.

All there service may not be as quick but they impressed me.

thanks guys...

you would think things like this would be simple but it gets confusing when everyone who walks into the garage has to give their 2 cents...I tell my mechanic something and then he rings me back 2 hours later and says "oh dunno about those guys, or this or that" I'm like WTF...Why did you ask me to source the parts then if your not going to fu*#in listen to me... they know a lot about engines but f#@k all about doing business *end rant*

I really envy those of you who have the time and expertise to work on your cars yourself

If you want a price comparison try www.performancewholesale.com.au they are also distributors for most of the brands that Rocket are.

Sounds like it.

You are better off scouting for better prices yourself and buying the parts yourself and giving em to your mechanic to fit
