Coolparts.com Blog

I’m happy to be posting more then once a month. It has been an extremely exciting September for Coolparts. With that in mind, we have just added Airtex Fuel Pumps and Airtex Water Pumps to our vehicle application search. What this means is that you can now find the water pump and fuel pump that you need for your vehicle.

One of the challenges that the fuel and water pumps presented which were not found elsewhere is the fact that a year, make, model, engine or submodel is not enough to determine which part fits your car. Turns out the 2001 Ford F-150 with a 4.2L engine uses a different fuel pump depending on if its a 2WD or 4D. To correct this, we have added product fit notes which give you more information about the specific part.

Our prices on the water pumps and fuel pumps is awesome as well. For my car (which I always use for pricing), the Fuel Pump Assembly Module is $191.04. RockAuto sells the same part for $236.79. This is in no way a slam on RockAuto. Our water pump prices are even better. A water pump for my 2000 Olds Intrigue is only $37.87.

I am currently working with our very cool sales manager Steve to see what kind of specials/rebates we can do.  So far on the radar are free t-shirts or some other cool novelty.  Hey it’s free.  And anything free is better then nothing.

Look for another update on Friday or Monday.

P.S: If you are actually reading this blog, send me an email at vlad@coolparts.com with your comments, feedback, story ideas, etc.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately.  We have been very busy adding new manufacturers, images, and product information.  We have got done adding monroe shocks, struts, and accessories from Monroe.  So now if you drive a 2000 Oldsmobile Intrigue (like I do), you can easily find that you need the Monroe 71670 (Front) and Monroe 71671 (Rear). 

While we can’t beat every company on price, I have not found an online retailer with cheaper prcies for Monroe products.  For example, the 71670 is $59.53 from Coolparts.  $69.75 from AutoBarn.  $66.79 from RockAuto.  $82.28 from Auto Parts Warehouse.

Selling Monroe makes us happy because not only can we offer our customer the usual benefits of shopping at Coolparts like same day shipping, shipping quote before completing an order, and a real telephone number, but also the best price on the web.
