Hi. I have a a chevy dealer asking me for pricing. I have never done expeditor work. I would love to get some info from from someone who already is.
Dealerships expect to get a price way lower than you would charge a retail customer. They generally mark up what they pay you atleast 30% to their customer. You recieve a P.O. and it takes forever to get a check.
Oh. And they usually have no loyalty to a particular shop, just who has the lowest price and can get it done by yesterday.

spot on truth. You forgot that they will blame you for anything that goes wrong with that vehicle for the life of the car. Rear brakes fail after 30,000 miles? well you put a remote start in it, so you're to blame.
All true, but some dealers are better then others. On the plus side, it is easy business. There's no salespitch and for a little effort you can create a lot of extra income. Some dealers create an aftermarket department where you only need to dea; with a few people, others have thier salesmen do the selling(which is a pain for you). You do need to be patient for payment...
