It is amazing what a free enterprise and electronic communications system will do. All dealers OEM or otherwise will sell parts any where they so desire - my experiences showed me for the last 40 years. The end user benefits as parts prices become more competitve - void of the 30 - 50% mark-ups above suggested sell price.
Have you noticed lately that parts from your local Ford dealer are within a few percentage points of the Auto Zone, O'Reilly, etc. etc. prices. Time & free enterprices changes everthing.
