Not Clair, Clair Parts Express.

They are two ENTIRELY separate entities.  One is a wholesaler, the
other is a dealer- they're in different buildings, opposite ends of
the Clair lot.  If you call the dealer parts department, you won't
get nearly as good a price- nor will you get Mac's sense of humor :-)

Personally I would have three reservations in dealing with Didi at
her new employer.

a)there's more to it than just one person
b)she won't be able to accept returns.  What if the item is
defective, or the wrong part?  The dealer sounds like they'll hang
her out to dry, and that means you're gonna get hung out to dry too,
probably.

c)yet another middleman.  That means yet another slice of the pie,
which means she'll never be price-competitive.

Mac knows Dan and I a little- maybe I'll talk to him about setting up
a little extra discount for qlisters...
