Found a cheaper parts supplier after my usual one messed up an order for a fleet of delivery vans in Nashville
Last Tuesday my regular supplier sent the wrong brake calipers for three Ford Transits, and I called around until I found a local warehouse in Franklin that had the right ones in stock for 15% less, has anyone else switched suppliers after a screw-up like that?

Franklin's been my go-to ever since a parts guy shorted me on spark plugs three years ago.

Did you stick with Franklin even when your regular shop wanted you back? I had a similar thing happen with a distributor on Thompson Lane who sold me the wrong alternator brackets for a fleet of Transits, and I ended up at a place off Old Hickory that not only had the right parts but showed me a bulk discount on pads and rotors. Once you find a supplier that actually checks inventory before they promise it, you don't go back. My old guy tried to offer me a "loyalty discount" after I switched, but the new place already had my business by then.
