Markup vs Margin are not the same. A 50% markup is a 33% margin. Customers compare margins; suppliers and accountants quote markups. Quote the right one for the right audience.

Pricing parts the right way

Match competitor visibility, not price

Customers see online MRPs for popular parts. If you’re 30% over MRP they walk. If you’re 5% over and you save them a wait, they pay.

Bundle high-margin with low-margin

Brake pads have low markup but brake fluid + cleaner have 100%+. Bundle them in your quote to lift average margin without raising any single line.

Be honest about OEM vs OEM-equivalent

Customers will pay genuine prices for genuine parts. Quoting OEM-equivalent at OEM price destroys trust the moment they Google the part number.
