You are probably buying the cheapest, shittiest parts.

My experiences with Rock Auto are that you need to REALLY read the descriptions and possibly even call to verify what you plan to order.

O2 sensors I usually stick with OEM parts. Those things are hit and miss when it comes to getting the correct ones or a good one. If you bought the cheapest O2 sensor, no surprise it failed.

I blame the timing belt jumping on your mechanic. I hope you have a non-interference engine.

I have been buying parts from rock auto for years now they aren't always the cheapest 100% of the time but I've never had a problem with any of the parts from them.

It all depends on your hydromorphornator, my grand pappy tried a 21 (2x3) pulpline carnoxonite lol in it and he ended up crashing into a fucking cow!

Never had a problem here, and though I've never had to contact them I've heard their customer service people are pretty good.

Shit dude, thats crazy! You must either be really lucky or have cat like reflexes.

I'm always so afraid of a timing belt break.

Most automotive parts that Bosch makes are high quality, but I've seen too many of their O2 sensors fail early to recommend them. Denso or NGK (NTK) are the way to go.
