I buy the parts and then have the house install them

[Anonymous]

do dealers get mad when people do this? Save the cost on their marked up prices and just pay for the labor?

We don’t go to the dealer for repairs, but we order our own tires and have them shipped to our repair guy. Haven’t done it for other parts, though. I imagine they will tell you if it’s a problem.

They won’t do it for liability and insurance reasons. Would you bring ingredients to a restaurant and expect them to cook them?

Parts are cheap enough from a dealer. Find s mechanic

LOL, I do exactly the reverse. I buy parts from a dealer to make sure it is genuine OEM and have them installed by an independent shop. The shop of course does not take responsibility for the quality of the part. They will usually do this if I show them the receipt that I bought the parts from a dealer. Not always, some will.

the house marks them up.

I need front and rear brake pads.

Honda Autonation in Dulles asked 175 for front and 150 for rear.

Bought them online at Honda genuine dealer and it cost me less than 120 for both sets.

I think you’re getting goofed

We do that too. We have a good relationship with our car mechanic.

Soooo you bought the brake pads from a dealer, which is exactly what I said...

Why do you call a dealer the "house". Do you gamble a lot?

Take hondapartsnow.com for example.

Genuine stuff. But extremely cheaper. Now go to the actual dealer and getting ready to bend over.

You are so dense. Who do you think are behind these websites? Take for example hondapartsconnection.com, which has similar prices to the site you posted. In their FAQ, they indicate they are part of a Honda dealer:

https://www.hondapartsconnection.com/faq

If you take a look at the information for hondapartsnow.com, they are affiliated with a company called Genuine Parts Giant, LLC. And if you go to the website for Genuine Parts Giant, they provide online sales platforms to New Car Dealers:

http://www.genuinepartsgiant.com/about-us.html

So the parts you purchased from hondapartsnow.com, is from a Honda Dealer. Exactly as I said.

I guess you’re denser.

Hondapartsnow sells cheaper than the shop in Dulles.

You pay marked up for stuff when you can get it for 50% off? Maybe denser is being generous with your thinking skillz

Why would I buy from Honda Dealer in Dulles when I can buy from a Honda Dealer online for less? Both are Honda Dealers. I can't believe I have to point this out to you multiple times.

If you’re buying parts over the counter at a local dealership you are getting prison-raped. This isn’t even worth arguing about.

If you wanna keep buying parts at the local dealer, just remember to bring your lube.
