Save some money, try this.

I would like to extend my thanks to Dal, Jason, and gmpartsdirect.com.

I used invoices from them to negotiate with my closest Chevy dealer (Parts Manager) and I now get 10-15% over their cost, and can save mucho time.

They price me the same as local shops to be exact. I could still save about 3%-5% on my total if I go to Dal or Jason, but then I have to wait for it to be shipped. So it is worth a couple of bucks per 100 to get stuff immediately.

The reason I don't get the lowest price is because I still have to pay sales tax at the stealer. But for sure they are stealing MUCH less than before cause of the competition.

Ask for your Parts Manager and strike a DEAL!

Later
Sean

Good job man. I live in a nice Atlanta suburb and the local dealer (who treats me like gold BTW) still wants $650 for an opti!

That's what I do now because of my recent probs with them. I go to the local parts warehouse and get it for the same price. Not only I don't have to wait for the shipping but I also know what I'm buying. Sometimes the catelog does no justice.

That opti quote is for the cap, rotor AND the housing right? I paid $151.83 for the cap and rotor from the dealer here. I am not sure if it is super pricing or not, but I know its less than what they call "list." Either that housing is hella expensive or someone is getting
