Curious- I feel like many employees take advantage and buy parts at their discount of 10% over cost and then either re-sell them or buy them for friends or whatever. It's an honor system that they are for the employee or their immediate family but I don't have time to research who they are for exactly. Long story short, what percent do you charge your employees for parts and is it different for let's say a service tech vs a counter person?

Thanks!

15 percent across the board here, and it is for employees personal vehicles only, no relatives or friends.

15% here as well. I try and give families the discount.

PARTS EMPLOYEES 10% OVER
ALL OTHER EMPLOYEES 25% OVER
IF I KNOW ITS FOR THE EMPLOYEES CAR AND IT WILL HELP GET THEM BACK ON THE ROAD THEN I WILL DO 10% OVER

And if they do, so what! My feeling has always been take care of your people, your people will take care of you.
Parts purchases, cost plus 10%, labor 35% off.

10% markup on parts for all employees and immediate (parents, children, siblings) family.

10% OVER COST.. It's one of the few benefits of working at a dealership. I don't ask if its for their car, family member or friend. Just remember 10% of something is always better than 100% of nothing

We are 10 over. I feel the same way. A customer is a customer, a sale is a sale in this day and age. I would rather there buddy or cousin by it from me then buy it from amazon!

great, thanks for the input
