I buy filters from the dealer, in part because that is the only way of guaranteeing that you get a filter with the same performance spec, and also because it greatly reduces the chance of getting counterfeit parts, which are a huge business.

how do you handle talking down the parts guy.....i always have to argue a bit... even when i have an ebay listing from a different dealership they still dont like to apply their discounts. and cca memeber discount is much... once i bought a oil filter for $9 and now its 12$ with cca discount...why does the dealers parts go up and down? but i do see where your going on this... i think i would trust the dealer more...

I don't try and talk down the parts guy. When he punches the order in, I ask if they have included all the loyalty discounts in there (they don't have any official loyalty discount that I know about). I just make the point that I am a long term customer, and see if there is any discretionary discount (sometimes there is). I make sure that they sell it to me under my name in their system, and not just to cash sale, so there is a record of all the purchases. Their CRM system is pretty good, IMO.
Then I pay the bill. I am not going to waste time arguing for $3, it is completely irrelevant in the overall scheme of things. I would never ask them to match an ebay price, since they aren't ebay. They have a different cost base and business model. I consider ebay to be full of fraudsters and crooks (along with some honest people) so I won't use it. Ever.
