OEM Parts
Besides by Camaro I also have a 96 Impala SS that I have very discreetly modified, including a six speed. During the early years the Impala boys had one Chevrolet parts manager named "Del" that would sell us all any OEM parts for 10% over cost. This huge savings went out the window when he retired.
Now that I also own a Camaro I am toying with a few modifications that will also include OEM parts. My question is, 'is there any dealerships that caters to the Camaro owners by offering parts at 10% over cost? My thanks, Larry |
when you find one let us know!

I would have thought for sure a dealership would have jumped onto this forum, great for business! Let's hope we can start something! |
Generalmotorspartsonline.com
6pct over dealer cost. Find a code and get 5pct off from there. |
Those prices look great at generalmotorspartsonline, but prepare yourself for the shipping costs.
I looked up a part I was needing to check price, and they want $51 to ship a piece of weather stripping? Subtotal Amount: $102.93 Estimated Shipping to Mckinney, TX: $51.22 I have had decent luck getting the part number and using ebay. I am also lucky enough to have a good dealer with lots of discounted parts local to me. GMPartsClub.com is friendly chevy in Dallas TX. Good prices, and only 3 dollar charge to pick up local |

Try online price matching with your local dealer. Some Chevy dealers will do that so it will save you a ton on shipping.

I think I will go to GM direct get prices on my parts and then see if they will match them? Might be the best I can do. Great ideal. |
Went to my local GM dealership this morning. Getting ready to do an upgrade to the brake system so I needed to order new "torque to yield" bolts for front and back. Talked by tail off but the best they would do is cost plus 40%, no shipping of course.
Found 2 other dealerships that would not budge! What a markup in OEM parts! |
They showed you what their actual cost was? I normally just see the retail price, then they discount it some, but never see the actual price they paid

Weatherstripping....$50 shipping LMAO talk about an injection minus the lube. Part weights what? A few ounces? That's utterly ridiculous.
If you know someone who works at a dealership, they get it at cost. Just ask them to order it for you and give em 10% more? |
I am one of those that can get parts at 10% over cost. Just got a z/28 diffuser for a steal. Going to go broke as fast as i make money. Just gotta sell more cars
|
Become good friends with the parts manager, get parts at cost
