SVT MXZ XRS Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 Have a good afternoon hiding out in your basements Pouts and Gnome. I've gotta get back out in the garage and get the brakes done on the wife's Flex. Hopefully they can turn the rotors once and I can keep the ones I ordered from Rock Auto in the basement until 70K mores miles. OEM rotors and pads on all 4 cormers from the dealer - $565 Rock Auto- $360 delivered. Rock Auto FTW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Jackson Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 I wish that you guys lived near me so that I could charge you 40% more for the same quality parts. I'm all about supporting your locals as I have a small business but think about it. #1, most, if not all franchises have service writers and parts guys that are on commission. Each dept stands on its own and are held accountable for maximizing profit of which profit is certainly not a dirty word. But they have also turned into assassins that'll fuck you any way which they can. I've had customers come in that had a brake job done by a local dealer that cost them 1200+ where my shop using platinum grade parts would have been less than 800. So you believe loyalty should cost you 40% more and you're good with it? Yeah, ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont believe it should cost 40% more but I know if I and others like me dont support our local dealer they will go out of business In Ak, I get my oil changed at the local dealer too. Costs way more but my car is vacuumed and washed as a courtesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell yea. That is a good saying. I buy plenty from Napa and ORileys and others. But I generally give the dealer first crack. I will almost never order on line or from Amazon unless everywhere locally that I checked has to order the part too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't make any parts. They're just a lot cheaper 3 hours ago, J. Jackson said: No, they're $205 cheaper. Lol, yep. And that's with paying taxes and shipping.

What's sad is them trying to fuck people over by jacking their prices way up on parts. Rock Auto proves that. I have ZERO loyalty to any dealers around here. I discovered what true scumbags they all are when they tried to fuck me over on a Raptor. They can all fuck off and go under for all I care. They will never get another penny from me ever again. I drive 90 miles one way for my vehicles and if I ever need service. 3 hours ago, Jimmy Snacks said: It really is...as Jay says I'm just a dumb college educated painter but I spend my dollars locally whenever possible and I sure as fuck don't make 200K a year.

Fuck dealerships.......the absolute worst places to have your vehicle repaired or buy parts from. Small reputable shops are much better and why give your hard earned money to the stealership when you can get the same parts online for far less. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only reason you take anything to dealership is for warranty work. Once warranty is up never again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
