MBCA Mercedes Parts Discount
Hello
Can anybody tell me if Canadian dealerships (particularly Edmonton) offer discounts to MBCA members. If so how much? Thanks |

I read a post today in the tech section about receiving a 20%-30% on parts if you are a member of the Mercedes Club of America. Is this true?
How much does it cost to be a member of this club? How do you join? Thanks.

MBCA Membership
You can check out the membership process and benefits by calling MBCA at 800-637-2360 or at their website:
www.mbca.org Membership is $45 for one year and includes a six issue subscription to "The Star". In my opinion, the benefits of membership are enhanced if you have an active local section and attend their events. I have heard that some dealers offer a discount to MBCA members. Personally, I have never had a dealership offer me a discount, but I guess some do.

Check prices through partsshop or fastlane here. you will see most are a great deal.
To me the MBCA membership isn't worth it yet. Most get it just for the star magazine. Alon

The MBCA membership gets you only a 10% discount at dealers. At least at 2 of my local dealers. Like Ashman and Longston mentioned, the prices here at Fastlane are still much better. There may still be some parts that are only available through a dealer and then it's nice to get any discount you can. I bought the passenger side power window switch for my SD, at a local dealer, and it cost only $23 with my MBCA discount. I thought that wasn't too bad considering it was a style of switch that MB stopped using in 1980.

Dealers are not obligated to give discounts to MBCA members. You need to contact your local dealer.
A little known fact is that MBCA is NOT sponsored by or affiliated with MB. MB does recognize the club.

The dealership in Victoria does offer a 10% discount to members. Three Point Motors also offers a location in Nanaimo, BC which may give a discount, but I don't know. Of course, Three Point has never had any parts that I needed except an oil filter and a wiper blade but they can get anything given enough time.
Fastlane on Mercedesshop still won't deliver to Canada but Partsshop will. They have to use a customs broker, (usually?), which can add a lot to the bill.

Dweller,
My comment was questioning whether an MBCA Grant was considered "sponsorship".... Longston said it best: "A member of MercedesShop, that is. And membership has it's privileges.

E.P. |
