Parts allocated ??
Waiting on a side mirror assembly for 3 weeks now from Ford. Service writer said they dont know when the mirror will come in due to parts shortage.
I called the parts department and the guy tells me they can have the mirror in stock in a few days. My price would be right around $1300.
SO, do dealerships get their parts from one place for warranty work and another place when they sell directly to the customer?

Who knows which of the 2 guys is right , I assume the techs get their parts from the service dept and everything is tracked and accounted for. There's lots of money tracking within the dealership to give metrics on profit per dept. Save yourself some money and buy one aftermarket for probably a 1/3 of the cost. I have a couple friends that did and were happy with them on a Denali and a KR.
Friends don't let friends do dealerships.
Sorry about your mirror
