Default single handedly bait out GM

I went to the local parts counter at a dealer and asked tham for the clips that hold the tranny lines in my 60e.

He looks it up and says, " $13.85 how many do you need " i couldnt belive this. How can they charhe this and can you get them any place else?

That's insane.
It would really help business out if they would stop charging so damn much for parts. A whole lot of people go else where because those prices are WAY more than other places charge.
When will they learn.

You don't need to buy those clips from Government Motors, go to NAPA/Carquest.

I paid over $40 for a bowtie for my '06 and I work behind the GM parts counter. Some parts are completely insane and others are right inline with others if not cheaper. Not much, but some.
