Copied from their eBay store site:

Why is 1A Auto the most trusted online seller of replacement auto parts?

Our product and sales staff have over 10 years experience (per person) on average.
We offer more facts & information per part than anyone.
All of our suppliers are inspected by a former rocket scientist - no joke.
We use the parts we sell. Shouldn't everyone?

Their prices are quite reasonable too.   A door handle I just paid $5.60 Canadian for is available from them for $14.90 U.S.

Guess we know why he is a FORMER rocket scientist. Nothing like that to instill confidence in your parts.

I bought a nice set of muffler bearings from them: took care of the misfire on my propane burner.
