Their is a difference between “name brand parts” and quality parts. If we as an industry don’t understand that, then our suppliers never will. Open up a Gates timing belt kit and look at the country of origin on the parts included. How much confidence does that give you on a 16valve dohc vvt engine?
Quit selling safety related parts at our cost to off the street beats. If you dont have a licence then should be able to buy parts or even at our cost. It’s getting more and more frustrated when customer says they can buy at our cost. I always say to customer bringing parts do you take your own steak to a restaurant as well??? They get the hint quick
proper part inventory and cataloging SHOULD be number 1 for part suppliers but always falls short to 5th or 6th on there list. stop making excuses!
