Price it out at the dealership first....I am thinking that you cant get it cheaper anywhere and assured you purchased the right product. I am finding dealership prices are very competitive and with the added personal service, great! Rob

I've bought a few spray cans at the dealer, and I thought they were priced pretty reasonably.

I bought mine at the local dealer just up the street. Cost $10.75 which I thought was cheap considering it's a perfect match?
