Which Honda dealership(s) in the Twin Cities, MN sells genuine OEM parts cheaply?
Do any of them match online prices?

I needed a new ATF dipstick and online it seemed to be: $8+shipping ($11 list).
At the dealership it was: $16.50+tax.
I commented, "Isn't it $11 retail?" and was basically told that that's the markup for in-stock + their handling/ship-to-store charges.
I'm sure it is hard to keep parts in-stock and such, it costs them some amount of overhead.

But no one likes paying more than they have to - I will plan ahead next time!

Thank you!!

You should have called ahead and checked the price.

You could have said "no thanks" and walked out.



Use the internet catalogs, go to the next dealer armed with your info. Some will come down to at least MSRP once they realize you know what that is. Others won't.
Don't expect wholesale prices from your local dealer if you aren't legitimately in the auto business.

Keep in mind that dealers are free to set their price markups however they see fit to make necessary profit.
They don't have to adhere to the manufacturers' suggested retail prices.

You are always free to shop elsewhere.
