New Service Manager and General Manager want us to start selling some aftermarket additives and flushes (again). How do some of you that deal in this stuff, bill it out on the RO without throwing all your PASE numbers in the toilet ? Here sublet would go to service, but parts would not get any credit for any sales billed as sublet. Any thoughts ? Thanks

Misc in seperate parts account, bill the part to a shop ticket, at the end of the month reconcile shop ticket with the special misc parts account. If it doesn't match hell is to be paid!

if you do it, separate source in your DMS, notify that this source and all information is prohibited from transmission to any source outside the dealership. Do it in writing on Company letterhead, signed by the dealer.

Buy the snake oil from the salesman and sell it all to the service dept on an invoice with a markup. That way parts can still make money and get loyal. They then bill it themselves as part of the package. We bill it to 61D and then they can do what they want.

We have been selling BG for almost 7yrs. We do enough to make an additional 4-5K/month and not hurt our pase numbers. We are a smallish dealer...gross is 62-70k/month with 2 countermen and me. I'll not let used powertrain components be shipped in from extended warranty companies. However, I'll sell the snake oil. We have a pretty good demand for it.
