Dealer Pricing - Do you give them a break over your retail price?

[Ridler]

For those of you that do dealer work, I'm curious to know if any of you give your dealers a different price from your retail price. I'm not looking for the prices you are charging just to know if you give them different pricing. Say $50, $75 or $100 off retail. Does it depend on how much business they send you? Does it matter what films you install, assuming your using multiple brands? Do you give them any incentives? Such as 10th car is free!

Just looking for what some of you do.

Every dealer is different for me. Most of them are based on the salesman, rather than the company. Some I will give a price break, some not, and some just would rather me hook them up on their personal vehicles and get charged retail for the lot cars. I couldn't give you one definate answer.

YZ101- That's a good start for me. I was thinking along those lines as well. It gives me some ideas. Thanks!

Anyone else?

No price break here. I should really charge them more. They're more work and I have to wait to get paid

[TintWizard]

They SHOULD be charged more but in reality if you want a certain percentage if your business to be dealers and particular dealers are willing to give you bulk orders then it doesn't usually work that way. I personally have been discounted, but the payoff is I always have a new vehicle in one of my shops Waiting to get tinted whenever I fit it in or choose to So there is always work to do at will Which is a nice security blanket when owning a business.

Good to hear lostinbama and tint wizard. I agree that more should be charged just to have to deal with them but as you mentioned, having a car in the door is always a good thing.

[lostinbama]

Waiting to get paid is not

Then you've picked the wrong dealers

Here where I do my tinting I give the dealers most 4 door cars for 195..and most two door cars for 165..General public pricing starts at 225 and goes on up from there
