What is everyone's margins on oil changes? I use only Oil that meets Volkswagen/Audi specifications so i pay around $1,100 for a 55 gallon drum of Pentosin, when i could be paying $500.00 for a synthetic oil that doesn't meet vw/audi specifications. Alot of our customers are aware of Volkswagen's oil requirements and are always asking if our oil meets their specification so after you throw in a good quality filter our oil changes run from $75- to over $100.00 with a high 20's% margin. Then a few of them will beat you up on the price. We are only charging $12.00 labor on oil changes, Im not loosing money on oil changes but id like to figure a way to get my margins a little higher.

Dealerships Being sneaky.
EASTCOASTWAGENWERKS replied to John Pearson's topic in General Automotive Discussion
We are a Vw/Audi shop, and the local Volkswagen dealer has told a few of our customers that we have sent to them for recalls that we have no business working on their car, that we are not certified to performed the work that her car needs,blah,blah,blah. (My partner and I were the top techs there for over 5 years) All they have done is lost customers for good. When a business speaks poorly of another business i think it makes them look unprofessional but alot of them will still do it. -
This is the matrix we are using currently for dealership sourced parts Your cost Multiplied by: .01-5.00 3.25 5.01-50.00 2.25 50.01-100.00 1.82 100.01-175.00 1.67 175.01 and up 1.54 Sometimes we have to adjust our price up or down, but for the lower cost items we try to mark up even more to compensate for the lower profit margins from the dealership parts.
