Preferred pricing on dealer parts (4 Viewers)

[Aracobuilt]

I have been purchasing from my local dealer for over eight years. I have spent thousands since I own three Toyota/Lexus vehicle's, and never once have I gotten a coupon code for 5% on my next purchase or free shipping, nothing. I use them for the convenience and speed, I also save on shipping since I opt for in store pickup. In the past I have ordered from overseas sellers and from non-local Toyota and Lexus dealers. Now I can't purchase overseas due to the tarrifs and unexpected costs and I don't feel like my businesses is valued at my local dealer. My options continue to decrease and prices on parts continue to increase. I was just wondering if anyone has been successful in getting better dealer pricing on parts due to there continued business and volume even if they don't have a commercial account.

I try to buy when the southeast dealers have big % sales. I think we will continue to see price increases unless someone changes their mind on free trade.
