I had to bring this up because this has happened multiple times with the South Point Jeep Dealer in Austin. . .
I search around here, and get an idea what the price from a dealer should be but, when I call them it is triple that! Previous quote from them for a harmonic balancer was almost $200 (figured about $50 after searching forum), just got off the phone with them looking for a fan shroud (someone on forum had got from a dealer for $13) they wanted $48.
On an off chance, I called the dealer on the other side of town, and the same part is $17 !
Anyhow, lesson learned = Dealer prices are not the same. Luckily this has only cost me an extra $20 or $30 on little stuff - hope someone else can benefit. . .
