Woburn Toyota...Boo

[SouthBostonFJ40]

I live less than a mile from Woburn Toyota. I buy all my parts from Wellesley Toyota which is a 25 minute ride. Today I needed a couple of small parts so I figured I would ask them for a club discount. They told me flat out NO, they would not offer any type of discount. It kind of pissed me off. Needless to say, I'll continue driving past Woburn Toyota on my way to Wellesley.

I guess it depends on what you're buying. If I needed a bolt or two, I go to my local Toyota and pay retail prices too. Couple gallons of gas plus time isn't worth driving to Wellesley for me.

Wellesley is a bit far for me. Its almost an hour drive so I can't get up there often. If its small and you don't need it right away Dan with American Toyota will give you a great price here on Mud and ships stuff really reasonable.

ive had the same experience with Woburn and Herb Chambers.

Tarbox Toyota gives me a 10% discount but its only because the parts guys have gotten to know me. I've tried to push the TLCA and YT angle on them to get 25% and have gotten shot down every time. I had to buy a charcoal canister for my wifes Sienna. List was close to $450. Even with the gas and hour drive, it was worth it to buy from Wellesley Toyota.

Really? They said NO? Do they not realize it would increase business? Is Larry, Curly and Moe working there? Geez...

I told him I would tell everyone in the club about it if he gave me the discount. He specifically said that it wouldn't be worth it.

Westborough Toyota also gives a nice discount. No club association needed. Was just there today.

Well their loss. I will make sure I steer clear of them and give a place that is happy to have and wants my business. Thanks for your efforts.

I've always gotten 20+% off at Lexington Toyota, but I was buying a lot from them once upon a time.

 

[SouthBostonFJ40]

So I went back in there in person and I got 20%. So ordered a few small parts. We'll see if they keep it going.

 

[Wrench]

Say what? I thought they flat out said NO!

 

[SouthBostonFJ40]

Me too. When I got there, he said he'd do 15% but as I got talking and he rang me up, he said I did 20% for you. So I saved a few buck and 90 minutes today.
