I worked in parts for some time, I know I wouldn't touch something that was less than a 75% gross profit. Ive often wondered how you guys manage to stay in business without manufacturing your own parts to supplement your income. At the cost of running a retail establishment I just don't see how you can keep going unless you're making $80 profit on a $140 alternator. Large volumes and just barely scraping by every month is the only way I see brick and mortar vendors even surviving.
