So when I did my rear tire the other day, I noticed a clip missing from the rear caliper. Not a big deal.
Partzilla. Part is $7 + $8 shipping no tax. $15~ total.
Just happened to be next to the yamaha dealer yesterday so figured Id save on shipping and maybe pay a tiny bit more for the part itself.
Local dealership. Very competent, friendly parts counter guy looks up the part I point it out on the schematic and get a price of $16. Okay whatever I'll pay the extra $1 and get it today. Nope. Directs me to go pay the cashier, I figure hes going to go grab the part. Nope. I pay and hang out a second hes still at his counter. Go over and he asks if there is something else I need. "Nope just need the part." "It will be here maybe next Thursday or that following Monday"
Not griping about waiting for a part or anything, but I could have saved a $1 and had it sooner by buying from partzilla or the like.
Then to top it off as I was putting the receipt on my desk I look.... they charge a friggen $1 "service fee" to talk to a flipping part counter guy. SERIOUSLY? You charge me a $1 service fee to order a flipping part because I talked to a live human?
