In the beginning and even now many think RA is a retailer like Summit or Auto Zone. They are a drop shipper who has negotiated FANTASTIC prices on name brand parts. Their price for a brand new AC Delco multi function switch and wiper motor for my 04 LeSabre was less than what the local Chevy dealer cost was. My friend in the parts department told me that. Denso AC compressor new made in Japan for my Camry was under $200 shipped. Just be warned- when you receive the parts its not good to wait too long before installing them as if the time period expires and the parts are wrong it will be more difficult to get it corrected. Starters alternators a radiators and AC compressors are typically a hundred dollars less than local stores.
