Re: 1A Auto Parts has a new website

I think it would be easier to use if you grouped parts by category instead of individually.
If everyone set up their website just like Summit Racing...

Re: 1A Auto Parts has a new website

Is there a reason you don't divide them out by year? Like I look in Firebird Carpet and I get carpet for 82-84, 85-92, and 93-02 (plus a bunch others I now see). It can make it seem "cluttered" and less targeted toward your audience. The more parts you guy keep stocking (which is great!) the worse the user interaction is (which is bad).

With the new website, it is divided by year.

Unhappy Re: 1A Auto Parts has a new website

Nothing for the 9-bolt rear...Why is it so hard to find stuff for them? They aren't THAT "rare"!

All I need is a little plastic plug for the cover, but can't seem to find one!

Sort of, you can select from the drop down at the top of the Category, but for one, it doesn't remember your selection, and 2, it doesn't limit the categories by year at all. So say you are looking for a Thirdgen coolant overflow bottle. You go to the Firebird section, oh look, overflow... oh wait, nope, only 4th gen. They do happen to have most parts for most years, but it would be easier to browse if the year was sorted at the Category level, not the part level.

I played around with the Camaro selections.If I choose a carpet for an 88 Camaro. It gives me the choices for 85-92 because that's the year range it fits. It does weed out all of the other choices such as 82-84.

Re: 1A Auto Parts has a new website

Yes, but only in the carpet section. If I go back to the Categories it lists everything for any year Firebird and if I go back into another section I have to reselect my year.

Go to www.schucks.com, napaonline.com or autozone.com and they all have you select your vehicle first, down to the year, and then display what parts they have for you.

Instead of searching by part, do 'shop by vehicle', or 'get started', and you won't have that problem.

Ok, my point is obviously being completely missed here. Simply, the year filter needs to happen at the Category level, not the Part level. Yes, you can filter by year once you get into the parts.

So, to clarify:

This needs to be filtered by year:
