I was buying some small parts for my car at the dealer yesterday and while I was waiting at the counter a parts runner from a local auto supply house walks in with a box of semi-metallic brake pads and two large brake rotor boxes. He set them on the counter and I caught a glance of them before the mechanic picked them up and walked back to the shop with them. On the side of disk boxes was printed "Made in China"!! Bear in mind that this is a shop that can have just about any genuine part in stock by the next morning, so I can't imagine that the owner couldn't wait at least that long and I didn't see anybody waiting in the customer lounge. I have no idea whether they were charging the customer MB prices or not, but I thought that was pretty shabby, to say the least, downright dishonest at worst if the customer didn't specifically ask for the cheaper parts.
