Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy for many reasons. So it’s important to support local, small business whenever possible. These small businesses often times face an inventory challenge when it comes to purchasing. The larger certified dealers are able to purchase from their manufacturers directly at wholesale prices. The small guy is locked out of wholesale pricing.
In the boating arena, there are tons of small, one or two man repair shops who are at a disadvantage when it comes to purchasing OEM boat parts. Of course, they can purchase aftermarket parts on Amazon but in an industry where reputation is very important, repair shops should always consider putting OEM boat parts in customer’s boats. After all, a few bad Google reviews due to inferior parts can devastate your business.
Let’s consider the aftermarket fuel pump. Assume you choose an aftermarket fuel pump as your customer could save anywhere from $100-150 over the OEM part. That’s quite a savings but is that a true savings or a gamble that your customer won’t end up stranded in the water when the pump fails prematurely. The saying is true – “you get what you pay for” and in the parts industry, it’s no lie.
