That's why most refer to them as stealerships and consider them only if in a rush or with no other options.

I try to order on line at http://parts.autopartsonlinecanada.com (http://parts.autopartsonlinecanada.com) as much as I can. If you order over $75 the shipping is free. I've got quotes locally from the dealer and jobbers and they still can't beat the prices here. About 3-4 days shipping time.

 IE - Quoted $40ish for a alter. belt tensioner pulley, online $20ish  - oil filters Napa gold $13ish, online Bosch (made in india) $6ish

Sorry to hijack...... ;)

The dealer also charges $28 per bearing for rod bearings.
