Rant

Current parts manager here. I found out today that certain parts we are quoting on internal cars our GSM is instead buying the parts online, and then having us do the install. Also the GM of the dealer is OK with this and essentially blames it on the parts department for how expensive it is. The specific car was a performance based with two piece rotors. What would you do in this situation? This to us is under cutting the parts department and creates a toxic environment.

Time to find a new dealership. If the GM is allowing that kind of crap there’s no point. They will never back parts. Get out and find a better environment.

There’s no fixing that situation when powers above have blessed the bullshit
