That's always good. The dealer that I *used* to go to (before they sold
out to a massive chain of dealerships who changed everything) gave a 15%
discount on parts anytime they were connected to your service. And if you
bought parts on your own, you'd always get at least 10% (but usually 15%)
off. *sigh* Those were the days.
