Don't use GMPD, use our exclusive GM Parts Sponsor, Scoggin-Dickey. www.SDPC2000.com

Thanks!

Tony is 100% correct. Any GM part I have ever needed, and I mean some weird little things Scoggin-Dickey has always had them in stock and cheaper than the dealer!!

Here is an example, I lost a bolt to my intake manifold. Well I called the local dealer to try and get one local. Well first they didn't have any in stock. Second, they wanted to charge me $5 for the bolt. Third they told me I couldn't order just one I had to buy a pack of 10. $50 to replace a missing intake bolt!

I called my guy Tim at SDPC ext 352 =) Not only did they have them but he only charged me $2.75 for the bolt and since it was only a bolt he put it in a foam envelope thingy and mailed it for free US Mail. I got the bolt in 2 days and was back on the road.

SDPC RULES.

I've always avoided GM Parts Direct. They have lower listed prices, but INSANE shipping/handling charges. You don't notice until you total the order up to see how much they are screwing you.

Kinda shady.

SDPC2000's prices are cheaper than standard dealer prices, but they aren't that cheap. GM parts direct with its high shipping charges is still cheaper.
