Do these people have to be certified or anything to get that job?



Do they get discounted prices cheaper or even with mazdacomp prices?

Most of the time they do not have to be certified but some are...

and yes the discount is rather big....

I work for dealerships....



Say a part lists for 68.93 thats what you the average consumer pays

But the part usually costs 45.38

But then they get a discount on that so that part could go as low as 28 bucks.... lol





Did this when I had to buy switched for my power windows....

part listed at 36 dollars I picked them up for 13 bucks each... good thing I had to buy 5 of them... lol



But anyway there ya go.......



Oh by the way for those St.louis members i am going to look into this.... but I maybe able to get deals on turbos and intercoolers and such.... so give me sometime and maybe by next week I will know.
