I have 5 dealers in a 50 miles radius but traffic is the nightmare.
The closest one is 10 miles and one customer did asked for MBCA
discount (while I was standing in line) and the parts department guy
said "sorry, we don't take them". I was a MBCA member for
15 yrs and then let it lapse for 10 years due to politics at local level.
I buy most parts from Rusty unless I have to have it now, then I get
it locally.
And I do belong to the PCA and enjoy the magazines more than the
MBCA!

Many dealers offer a 10% discount on parts. If your local dealer
doesn't, ask them to. But then we usually save MORE than 10% by
buying from Rusty. Since I have no workable dealer within 100 miles,
I just buy from Rusty. Much less hassle, other than the wait. I
have enough cars, that if one is down waiting for parts, it is an
inconvenience, but not a big problem.
