First, I feel like i am hogging the board...

 

I know parts store discount are based off of volume but when we set up with Autozone they gave us a flat %20 off non showroom parts then we signed up for the "Casper" program to lock that rate in. Advance Auto gave us the variable discount and again signed us up for the "top" tier till we got established. When ordering on their online sites it seems we are getting a deal. When we compare our discounted price to their website and store price the discounts are only a few bucks an no where near %20.

 

My questions would be; How normal is this? Are we getting played? or is the normal life goes on?

 

The dealer parts we get seem to have a legitimate discount over what they sell them for, not much but it doesn't appear there are games being played.

 

As always, thanks in advance for the insights.

Build a relationship with store staff. Be there to help them when they need it and they'll be there when you need help. It's not all about price either, remember your selling a service, not cheap parts!

I completely disagree with the about post. Confront them as I have in the past and they will either fix it or you can order from someone else.

Maybe once established and doing a large volume but starting out many of them look at you as a PITA customer that doesn't help their numbers. I receive more discounts and referrals from our local part stores than you can count.

Give me a part number we'll do a comparison at advance. (If you want)

My account isn't that great somewhere around 200k in 3 or so years, but it will some give comparison.

97 Ford Ranger 3.0L ac compressor

part number: 618132

autozonepro $179 retail $358

autzone $185

 

part number: T58132

advance auto commercial $156 retail $250

advance auto $185

 

in this instant advance obviously has a decent discount but they never said it was going to be a consistant %20 off.

I've noticed the same thing here. Some items there is a considerable discount and many other items the prices are relatively the same as someone that comes off the street to purchase parts at the store. I would be very interested to see what types of discounts are considered the "norm" based on purchase totals.

Getting to know the staff, that is key. I get at least 5-10 new customers a week from our local parts store. Also with the relationship, I just disregard my pricing that comes up in the computer. I call and they give me at about 20% off my top tier price. My advise is be upfront and honest with them. Understand that we are all just trying to make a buck. Let them know that you understand that they need to make profit on these parts but you also need help making money.

At advance our prices matched, after asking for the lowest price I was able to get to 134.00 without getting into their "red zone".

We don't even look at list. Doesn't matter if we are buying from the dealer or just from the local Autozone. We know what we need to make on each part to be able to keep the lights on and our employees paid.

 

This is where a good pricing matrix comes in handy.

Joe, this has bothered me tremendously since we opened the doors. My service writers boyfriend works at atz and he gets a flat 20% off all parts which is way more than I get...

 

For these reasons we have been systematically switching over to dealer parts and so far it's working out. Not to mention a lot of dealer parts are cheaper.

It doesn't matter where we buy. Our matrix will not allow a gpm below 50% on the job. I've posted my matrix somewhere lol

Most parts stores sell to repair shops around 10% off walk in. More on some lines less on others. List is for marketing a feel good discount. Some dealers boost list price then discount from there. A lot of shops never purchase enough to get any real price break.

I want to make the point that not matter what we pay, we need to understand that what we charge will determine if we are profitable or not. 

 

Paying $20.00 for a rotor or $30.00 for that same rotor from another suppier is one issue, but the price to customer is what we need to consider. 

 

I have said this in the past, we need to find a balance between being competitive and being profitable.

Exactly! In most cases list is no where near high enough!

Being competitive and being profitable isn't what is used to be. One can only structure creative pricing so far. Small shops provide good service, good value and a caring relationship to our customers. At the end of the day dealerships and chain stores continue to chip away at us by crossing into the advantages we have and owning purchasing power we don't have.

I have little experience purchasing from big parts stores as my suppliers namely worldpac and northside are a wholesale only or wholesale first business. That being said, do your customers know that the parts they are getting installed in their car are atz or big parts store parts? Does that cause a problem for you all?

 

The atz, pep boys, advanced parts stores all seem like low quality bottom of the barrel operations and I wouldn't be caught dead using them as a supplier. NAPA on the other hand treats us very well. No complaints about them.

Our Napa is awful. Never get the order right, online orders never get sent, not interested in timely deliveries. Trying to use worldpac more but shipping cost and time frame kills that.

As far as where parts are sourced from all the big parts chains sell a lot of the same major brands. Worldpac & CARQUEST are now owned by Advance Auto Parts. Borg Warner is owned by Standard Motor Products ( Standard ignition/Bluestreak/Four Seasons etc.) Standard Motor Products is the supplier to NAPA Echlin. The list goes on.

I like the higher quality and oem brands that worldpac offers and the speed of service and professionalism offered by advance. My issue with advance isn't part quality, it's the manner in which they operate. That may be the private store factor.

Our Advance goes above and beyond and they have the best people of any store in town. Napa does well for us too but they have some grumpy people there and I hate dealing with grumpy people especially when I'm paying. Rarely have to deal with them though since all orders are done online, but thinking about it now the grumpy seems to slide down to the delivery people, and one girl in particular leaves my lobby door wide open the whole time she's in my shop dropping off parts. Ticks me off when it's -10f!

I've learned the parts store managers are good liars. They tell everyone that they achieved diamond or top tier level or whatever and it makes you feel good . Normally we get 10% off walk in price as the norm on our our computer's catalog. We base our markup matrix off of this number. Once the job is sold we call our contacts at the parts store and ask for a deeper discount, this extra 5-70% is real money in our pockets. We aren't PITA customers and most of the time we don't haggle on a couple dollars, but our main parts supplier will sell us parts at a much better price than initially offered to keep us as the first call. Some parts stores won't budge at all, we don't give them as much business. Think about it from the part stores eyes - $20000 a month in commercial parts sales @ 40% profit is way better than $2000 in sales @ 80%. The truck uses the same amount of gas and the part driver gets paid the same in both scenarios. On some big jobs we pass the savings on to the customers to stay competitive. A lost sale = 0 profit for everyone. Some stores have a "creep" where we get 50% off walk in the first month, then 40%, and so on until there's little discount. They know that most shops get too busy to shop around. It keeps us on our toes, that's for sure.

Not to over post but a comment on parts quality. Compare an economy Autozone bearing to one from Advance, Napa, Carquest, or any other store and tell me the difference. They are exactly the same part with a different sticker on the box. Same goes for anything rebuilt - it's almost all restickered A1 Cardone. We buy from the store that offers us the best price, service, and warranty. Right now AZ has the best parts and labor warranty we have ever seen. FYI rock auto shares the same warehouse as some major parts chains, the only difference is the price. The parts are the same at the bargain quality level. That said we try to put premium brand name parts on everything, it's way better for everyone.

I have noticed this tool. A canister purge valve that we ordered from oreillys in a pinch was a dealer bosch part in a standard/bwd box.

We buy from napa because they offer a 2 year parts and labor warranty that we can pass on to our customers when we install their premium parts. 1 year parts/labor on their "Value" brands.

Plus napa actually wants to help us. Sales rep comes by almost once a week, delivery times are good. Parts they stock is outstanding. And the prices are suprisingly close to advance's prices.

 

We only buy hard parts(for warranty to our customers) and diesel engine oi from napa(valvoline premium blue is an amazing deal). Most of our filters and fluids come from advance. Oriellys is really quick for delivery so we get things we need quick from them.

 

Bottom line is, you can hardly ever use one place for everything. Just see who is best at what, and what is hype.

There are extremes in our pricing from parts stores. Sometimes, we get a huge discount off retail $, others it's literally a couple of dollars. I know this is sacrilege to some of you guys, but a some of our customers come from referrals from auto parts stores so we feel we have to match their retail on parts. I have price checked the retail sometimes and found that my customers could get the part cheaper than I can because of on line discounts and gift card offers (Advance). That's when I call my parts guys and give them some crap. They will lower my price at this point, but MY point is that I shouldn't have to call at all. I should be confident that I am getting the best price possible and not have to spend my time price researching. We do a lot of business with our local parts stores and we have a great rapport with all of them. I have to keep in mind that they (my commerical reps) are not responsible for the retail discount program, but somebody should be ensuring that their commercial accounts are in a position to make some money on parts.

If it's not a referral from one of the stores, I mark my parts up accordingly so I am ensured to make money on the parts, but we don't go crazy, we try to stay fair. I also think the list $ on some of my purchases is ridiculously high and there is no way in good conscience I could charge that to a customer.

What are some good ways for a new startup auto shop to form these relationships, because it seems that until you are actually buying parts it is hard to do?

Sometimes it is not about buying the parts but the relationship. Go in and talk to the staff, talk to the managers and get to know them. I started out very small but staff would remember me because I was the one that would send them pizza once a week or so. Also they spend most of their day dealing with headache customers. Make sure you are not one of them. Be understanding, nice and outgoing and they will repay the favor when they are able.

I shop for the best price on parts that I can, but I can't help myself but sit back and chuckle a little. We want our customers to pay top dollar for quality service and professionalism, yet on our side of the counter we whine and complain over finding the cheapest or near cheapest priced parts we can get ahold of.

 

I feel like the price shopping customer we all get annoyed by.

 

I generally buy from a local wholesaler called car parts warehouse. I do shop with az and advance due to proximity and wide selection of in stock odd ball parts. Tires come from American tire distributor

      The Technician Shortage Is Our Fault, And It's Time We Own It
      By Joe Marconi in Joe's Blog
         0 comments
      The Technician Shortage Is Our Fault, And It's Time We Own It
      Nearly every day, I hear shop owners complain: "There's a technician shortage. We can't find qualified people. There's no one out there." If that's true, then who's to blame?
      The industry? The schools? The government? I don't know how you feel, but who promised us an endless supply of qualified technicians?
      Another common complaint is that young people do not want to work in the trades. Well, if that were true, then why are other trades such as HVAC, electrical, and plumbing growing? What are they doing that the automotive industry is not? 
      Here's the reality we need to face: We do have a problem, but we shouldn't look for someone or any entity to rescue us. Not the government. Not the trade schools. Not the recruiting companies. No one owes us a workforce. If we want great people in our industry, it's up to us. At some point, we need to own up to the truth: Building a pipeline of qualified technicians is our responsibility.
      In this blog article, I will break down the key reasons we are in this situation today and what we, as an industry, can do to solve the technician shortage. Are you ready to look in the mirror?
      Have We Pushed Technicians Away?
      Let's take a look at flat-rate pay. True flat rate, which pays a technician only for the hours they produce, is a controversial pay plan that emphasizes high production levels and creates a competitive work environment that, if not properly controlled, can lead to increased mistakes and a decline in morale and team spirit. Additionally, the stress and physical demands placed on technicians as they age are not favorable to long-term employee retention. What do we do with technicians as they grow older into their fifties and begin to slow down? 
      I have heard all the arguments and pros and cons of flat-rate pay, and I am not going to judge any pay plan. Let the facts speak for themselves. True flat rate has changed in most areas around the country and has evolved into a pay plan that gives technicians some pay guarantee.
      Many shop owners have learned that team morale, along with the opportunity to earn income, is important to technicians and to the company's long-term success. But let me ask you: how many technicians have left or been pushed out over the years because of the old flat-rate pay system?
      Another issue is the workplace environment. I remember being grateful to be hired as a young technician at a local repair shop. While very thankful, the work environment was not ideal. The shop owner kept the bay doors open year-round (I am from New York) unless it rained or snowed. He felt that if the bay doors were closed, customers might think we were closed for business. We had no heat and no hot water. Many of the jobs were done outside, year-round,  in all types of weather. The starting pay was minimum wage, with no benefits, sick days, or vacation pay. 
      Now, again, I need to point out that I was truly grateful for the opportunity this shop owner gave me. I learned a lot working there, and the experience was pivotal in my career. But looking back, I wonder how many people were discouraged by these working conditions?
      While the physical demands of the repair workplace are daunting, perhaps even more critical is the culture. Too many of my generation shop owners preached the mindset of "my way or the highway." We were the business owners, after all. We started our companies, took all the risks, and provided jobs. Why shouldn't we be the ones to set the ground rules our way?   
      Many of us found over the years that the "my way or the highway" mentality was a sure way to isolate employees and make them more likely to look over the fence for greener grass. In other words, it led many technicians to seek employment elsewhere, where they felt they could be appreciated and recognized for their hard work. The issue, however, was that there wasn't much green grass around. Disappointment after disappointment, bouncing from repair to repair shop, eventually led to despair. So, I ask you: were workplace conditions a contributing factor in today's technician shortage?
      Another factor that we are all well aware of is the complexity of the modern automobile. When I started, the work was mostly physical, and you were required to master essentially three vehicle models: General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler. Let's fast-forward to today. The evolution of automotive technology, along with the extensive training and tools required, has outpaced the typical technician's pay compensation, with no clear career path. Again, leading to frustration and insecurity about the future.
      Here is the bottom line: people don't leave their job; they leave their experience. We must do a better job. 
      The News Isn't all Bad; Your Next Steps to Fix the Technician Shortage
      To fix the technician shortage, it will take a combined effort from everyone in the automotive industry, particularly automotive shop owners. Shop owners are in the perfect position to make the greatest impact, not only on their businesses but also on the future automotive workforce.
      First, shop owners must become better leaders and understand that their ultimate success is directly dependent on the people they assemble around them. Any shop owner who mistakenly believes they can build an empire solely on their abilities is destined for serious disappointment. Business owners who think like this will eventually plateau. Without the collective contributions from a team of qualified people, your business will stall; it will not continue to grow.
      Create a workplace that attracts top talent: a clean, professional, well-equipped facility designed to support productivity, teamwork, and a career, not just a job. Build a great reputation in your community by getting involved locally. Become the auto repair shop that people take notice of as "the" place to work.
      Next, shop owners must become more financially knowledgeable. Knowing your numbers and what you need to achieve for a strong bottom-line profit is essential to paying technicians the money they need and deserve. Profit will also allow you to compete with other trade industries by providing a benefits package that has real take-home value and security.
      When it comes to culture, this is where the rubber hits the road. People crave recognition, praise, and a sense of purpose. Despite what you hear, people are not just money-motivated. Once people feel secure in their financial situation, retaining and motivating technicians can only be achieved by connecting with them on an emotional level. You cannot show enough appreciation. Give out praise for a job well done as if your business depended on it, because it does.
      As technicians age, we need to have a place for them. Expecting a 58-year-old to perform like a 35-year-old is unrealistic. We need to be more focused on career pathing. Provide training, skill development, and coaching to develop leaders and mentors within our older workforce. While their bodies may have slowed, the knowledge they have gained is priceless. 
      Our future is dependent on young people entering our industry. We need to give more young people opportunities. Every shop owner across the country should consider hiring an apprentice, then build an apprentice training plan and career path for them. If every shop did this, we could solve the technician shortage within five years. Get involved with the trade schools and high schools in your area. Look into the NAPA Apprenticeship Program. Don't sit on your hands with this one. Do it today.
      Lastly, don't get left behind. Commit to ongoing training for all your employees. Keep up to date with tools and equipment tailored to your business model. Don't try to be all things to all people and all vehicles. Identify your core profile customer and the vehicles they drive, and become an expert on those vehicles and the services you offer.

      Turn Your Parts Spend Into Team Rewards with the NAPA Team Tool Rebate [THA 483]
      By carmcapriotto
      Thanks to our Partners, NAPA TRACS, Today's Class, KUKUI, and Pit Crew Loyalty Watch Full Video Episode Recorded live at the VISION 2026, host Carm Capriotto sits down with shop owner Pete McNeil and NAPA Auto Care leaders Jason Rainey and Lauren Briggs to break down the impact of the NAPA Team Tool Rebate program. Listen to a powerful real-world example of how the program can energize a team, strengthen culture, and reward performance in meaningful ways.
      What You’ll Learn
      How the NAPA Team Tool Rebate program helps offset the high cost of technician tools while building a stronger shop culture How Pete McNeil turned a $13,000 rebate into a memorable, morale-boosting experience Why the shift from “tech tool rebate” to “team tool rebate” gives owners flexibility to reward the entire team, not just technicians Creative ways shops can use rebate funds, from individual tool purchases to shared equipment, and even community support like vocational schools How the program aligns the front and back of the shop, encouraging team-wide support of purchasing decisions What’s ahead for the program, including improved tracking, communication, and enhanced buying power through supplier partnerships
      The NAPA Team Tool Rebate program is more than a financial incentive; it’s a strategic tool for building culture, driving alignment, and showing appreciation in a tangible way. When used intentionally, as demonstrated by Pete McNeil, it can transform routine business spending into a powerful investment in people, boosting morale, loyalty, and long-term shop success.
