The last 2 times I bought spark/glow plugs at my local dealer they sold me Bosch parts in Bosch boxes...the same exact parts I can buy at pep-boys or other chains in the same packaging.

Has M-B stopped private-labeling these parts? I know the M-B parts are made by others and are usually the exact same part anyway but this is the first time I can remember not buying the parts with the M-B markings on them in their own special packaging...

I am just wondering if maybe my dealer has gotten greedy and just is selling aftermarket parts at M-B prices now? I can't imagine that if this is the case that M-B USA would look too kindly on this.
