I highly endorse MBoC based on several transactions. While I get a good (wholesale) discount from my local dealer, and exemplary service, there are times when it just doesn’t make sense to pay their price when I can get it for much less fro Covington. Even with shipping I come out ahead, even more so because I don’t pay sales tax.
My dealer said they would meet MBoC’s prices, but the one time I gave them the opportunity they balked and said they couldn’t do it because it was below wholesale. If it’s a relatively inexpensive part, fine, I’ll pay the extra coin to my dealer because they give me fantastic service and can get me stuff overnight if necessary. However, if the difference is substantial, I’ll go to MBoC. Case in point: I needed the “guts” for my driver’s side exterior rear view mirror because the mechanism that makes it fold was borked. List was around $300, my local price was around $240, MBoC was under $200 including shipping. No brainer. If it’s large or heavy it likely won’t be a deal because of the shipping cost, but otherwise, they’re the rock bottom on prices from what I’ve found. -D > On Sep 18, 2022, at 3:23 PM, Rick Knoble via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > https://parts.mbofcovington.com/ > > Try these also. > > https://www.mbpartsource.com/ > > https://www.mbdirectparts.com/ > > https://www.mboemparts.com/ > > > Rick > > From: mercedes@okiebenz.com > Sent: September 18, 2022 2:15 PM > To: mercedes@okiebenz.com > Reply-to: mercedes@okiebenz.com > Cc: ka...@striplin.net > Subject: Re: [MBZ] Cleaning fuel sender > > What is their website? > > Sent from my iPhone > >> On Sep 18, 2022, at 12:06 PM, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes >> <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >> >> Covington had a much lower shipping cost and apparently does not collect >> state taxes. >> >>> On Sun, Sep 18, 2022 at 12:41 PM dan penoff.com via Mercedes < >>> mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: >>> >>> Same pricing model as MB of Covington.
