$54.00
In Stock
Sold by: MagAuto

I called to confirm / clarify if "1" means a set of four or if the price is for a pair. According to the parts rep, this for a full set.

FYI the shipping costs were under $10. When I called the dealership I purchased the car from, they quoted a price of $69+ tax...FAIL!

Happy shopping!
So, who failed ? amazon or dealer ? In my opinion the dealership clearly wins this one. Why take a chance on wrong item shipped to you, ofcourse you realize how much cost and headache it would be to return for correct item, for a varience of $5 bucks?
Plus, you are supporting building a relationship with your dealer. If you do not support your dealer and they go away,(ya, extreme case) how far will you have to go for somebody to fix issue? The best thing you can do is work that dealership, and when you need something, they may say no problem I will get to it right now Mr Wolfking! If you are joe smuck, your back of the line for sure.
