    Ngk spark plugs from RockAuto legit?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    My next spark plug service is soon, 4 years ago, I installed NGK Iridium IX (2668/BKR8EIX) from RockAuto and they’re running great, no a single misfired. I planned to buy again from them. The price is very good 5.13$usd per plug, where most of the auto parts sell them twice the price.

    I start ready about Ngk counterfeit on the web and don’t find Rockauto.com as authorized dealer from NGK website. What do you guys think? Do RockAuto sell legit Ngk spark plugs?

    Rock Auto is a long standing reputable supplier. No reason to think they wouldn’t supply legit parts. I have ordered a number of things from them from clutch kits to AC condensers, etc.

    They will happily let you return items.

    Second this. I've used them extensively over the years for my Honda, and even Akebono brake pads for my Audi. I always check their prices when shopping for parts, no matter what the make of vehicle they are for.

    You could always buy them from FCPEuro and never have to pay for them again....

    Rockauto is great, you can also find a 10% off coupon somewhere online And you can even apply it after checkout! & I highly doubt that they counterfeit products.

    On another note: FCP may be a little more expensive if not the same as ECS & Rockauto. BUT THEY HAVE A LIFETIME WARRANTY! I purchase all my little maintenance items from them.

    Oil filter, Drain Plug, Air, Cabin filter, Spark plugs, Coil packs.

    I could do the Liqui Moly oil too, but that seems like too much work to ship back.

    I would love to buy from FCP and benefit the life warranty, but I am in Canada, the shippings simply not worth it.

    Ya with fcp euro you are paying in USD, paying shipping to Canada, and when returning, you are paying shipping to the USA which is super expensive. Totally not worth it.

    Rock Auto is as legit as they come. Their closeouts and "brown box" specials are insane, if you happen to come across them.

    Yeah, I think they stuff are pretty legit, I bought cabin filters, oil filters and my current NGK Iridium plugs are from RockAuto, never had any problem what so ever. I was questioning just because I didn’t find RockAuto as an authorized retailer on NGK website.

    I can't speak to the plugs specifically, but I have ordered from them dozens of times and always got legit parts. I also used to live in Madison, WI and have driven by their warehouse. It's a legit business with at least 50 cars in the parking lot each day. I doubt they would risk selling anything counterfeit.
