Hey , I know you guys at Southside ? are one of the better spare parts divisions and have a real interest in trying to generate business .
It must be frustrating to have to quote pricing you know will not win the business. Imagine if you knew what an item cost and you could get $1100 starter motor down to the market price .( say $600 ) A part that is perceived as genuine , you would win the sale exery time.
