GM ACCESSORIES
Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2016 1:43 pmGM raised their prices on accessories by about 7% today. Note that was Dealer COST ONLY, not MSRP. For those of you paid on gross or net, you're welcome.

Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2016 2:25 pmThat's ok, most of the stuff we put on is on a we-owe, and we get cost plus 30% (cost plus 22% on steps) so i'll just pass that on.

Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2016 3:00 pmWe don't get to sell accessories anymore due to the new car department adding every LPO to every new vehicle! 
So the Parts Department makes 0 dollars from accessories...just the headaches of checking them in, storing them, giving them out and tracking down any backorders or missing LPO's.
The Great GM Feeling!

Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2016 3:48 pmJust more proof that since GM went bankrupt and changed the rules, (i.e.franchise agreements), they view their dealer
body as strictly a profit center for themselves only. They could care less if the dealers are making any money.

Posted: Mon Feb 01, 2016 4:05 pmI just think it's funny how they were quick to mention the price reduction in oil (thanks for the extra $.02/quart!) but I never saw any mention of this.

Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2016 5:51 amWe were able to talk our dealer into letting us bill a handling charge for Lpo's on the internal repair order. So for instance we charge 50.00 for steps and 5.00 for each set of floor mats. So if a vehicle has two sets of mats a a set of running boards we bill 60.00 on the repair order.

Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2016 3:10 pmWe found out days ago, Our ADI sent out a letter saying they were raising prices 7% ( Didn't mention that that were just passing the buck).. Figured it was like that though....
Re: GM ACCESSORIES
Posted: Fri Feb 05, 2016 3:37 pmCustomers have all kinds of ways to compare and check prices on accessories,many are the same thing except not in a GM package. Go ahead and price yourself out of the market GM,but there will be no need to call me at the end of month for an order to reach your quota. 7% really? When any discounts we may get are around 1%. Good Luck to us all.

Our ADI didn't even find out until an hour before close on Friday
