(gmpartsgirl.. why do the dealers make you pay so much for parts?! I tried to get a part this morning from the local Chevy dealer and I decided to get it online because it was $20 cheaper shipped to my house!)

[gmpartsgirl]

Because the smaller dealers pay more from GM because they don't get a huge truckload discount. The markup is still WAY smaller than most other things you buy like clothes, shoes, furniture, food, but for some reason people freak out over car parts and think they can negotiate the prices. I never understood why they think they can do that? I don't negotitate at Wal-Mart when I know I'm getting ripped off. The people selling cheaper are selling in volume and making money that way. Most dealers don't have that luxury. plus we work off commission and we're pushed by the big boss to try to carry a certain profit margin. It takes a certain percentage to cover expenses, i.e. taxes, rent, utilities, insurance, drivers, vehicles, fuel, etc. My department sells at MSRP, and has virtually no wholesale business and we still often are in the red at the end of the month. Parts is usually the loser at a dealership unless they are HUGE!!!!!!

[NOS2006]

Yeah, well I've been going through crateenginedepot.com (CED). My dealership is pretty good size, but CED always has a better price (and I think they go through a dealership themselves). My $120 throw-out bearing at the dealer was $102 shipped to my door.

Anyway, on with the Word Association!

[gmpartsgirl]

Well when I say a big dealer, they have to have a big parts thing going, not all do. Some focus on their parts sales. They would have to go through a dealer, they just go through one of the huge ones.
