Yea for Trussville..

Just a little pat on the back for one of our sponsers, Trussville Mazda. I ordered front and rear accents for my 8 last Monday, they were delivered, to Michigan, on Wednesday. Not only super fast service but my local dealer wanted $200 plus tax for both accents and Trussville's price was $125 shipped. They have definitely got a customer for any other parts I might need for my new baby....and, no, I don't work for Trussville or have any other connection with them. I can't understand how one dealer (my local one) can charge so much more for the same thing as another dealer. Trussville must be making a profit; I guess they're just not into ripping people off.....

Same deal

I had the exact same experience. These guys are awesome.
Got the front and rear rotary accents. 2 days later they were on my car.

My local dealer wanted 95 dollars for the front and 105 for the back.
What gives? I told them I can get them for half that on the internet.
He basically told me I was full of it and he had the price book in front of him. According to him all parts for this car are really expensive. Yeah, whatever. I know where my business will be taken.

Dealers mark up parts like CRAZY. That's one of the key ways dealerships make money. They don't pay for that giant fancy building by just selling new cars!

I originally had the same problem but I complained to the parts manager and now I just print out the web page with the price and my dealer matches it.
If you get a chance to look at their parts book you'll see the difference in cost and sale prices. The strakes were around $150 cost but they sold for $250. Nice mark-up.
