Very interesting. Thank you for sharing.

Let's see how their prices compare to RockAuto.com, GMPartsGiant.com, GMPartsDirect.com and other trusted suppliers for GM OEM parts.

I would assume that instead of having warehouses all over the place, they will send parts from closest dealership and will adjust price to compete. Only IMO.

Hope it's better than their OnStar app for ordering merchandise...it is terrible!

45,000 parts is a water drop in the bucket, I personally doubt prices will be competitive; after all why undercut there dealerships?

Curious to see prices as well. The difficult part about places like gmparts or whatever is how the price of the item may seem like a steal, but then you pay $118 in shipping or something stupid like that.

Ford was running a free overnight shipping promotion last fall. I was blown away how they would spend $15-20 to ship each part (from a multi part order) to me from several dealerships in my state. Oddly the parts were only a few dollars each. Loss leader I suppose.
