Does anyone know the average dealer mark up on parts.

Like the plenum spacers, grounding gear, manifolds, cats, exhausts.

Some of this stuff definetely is a more perceived value

 

I'm sure it's less than dealer markup on oem parts, which is 100% [varies by item].
Dealers give local independents 15-30% discount [based on monthly volume] to let them make something reselling at retail.

We buy $50,000 per month from dealers and get 25% off on average.

Most independents depend on "parts margin" to maintain under dealer labor pricing!

At a dealership the service department is not very profitable.......all the profit is shifted to the parts deparment........they would not have techs except necesssary for installing the parts they sell.

 

I think that the dealers are probably relatively competitive when it comes to parts. However, it's the installation where they charge a lot more.

 

Thanks for the info.

Curious how it worked in this industry.

 

The dealerships here charge between 55% to 72% mark-up for GroundingGear® Systems. The installs range from 1 hour (5 Wire Custom) to 2 hours (for the 5MT Performance System). Shhhhh.
