I wouldn't be surprised if after an order or 2 they call and get the same pricing as you and just order them direct. Definately worth the effort while you are visiting their lot anyway. If they don't want to buy volume, check the wipers and sell them sets whenever you can. Give them good wholesale pricing and they will probably go for it.
Just to give you an idea, we average about 5 sets a day from our shop. (repair and replacements). Some days more than 10. We make $10+ plus per set, that is an extra $50 to $100 cash per day. Keeping in mind that it takes about 2 minutes of work!! Well worth the effort. But, you have to SELL them!!!

I dont think many used car lots are waiting to buy w/shield wiper blades for their cars.LOL I have been around these lots for most of my life and they are not going to buy anything that they dont have too.Your retail type customer would be entirly a different situation IMHO.......
