Default Sewell Lexus Price increase?!!! WTF?!

I wasn't sure where to post this so I thought I'd try here first to see if anyone has any insight on this.

So I noticed that this week Sewell Lexus increased their prices for all their parts. Does any one know why? I was about to purchase a couple items with my CL discount then I noticed all the pricing has changed and increased about 10% on almost everything.

Thoughts?

If they do its business they're there to make a profit. Just like any business market dictates the price.

When the prices of things go up, what Sewell charges also goes up.

I'm surprised they don't change their prices more often to be honest.

I have bought parts from both Sewell and Miami. Both seem to have the best pricing among other dealerships. They both have good customer service too.

Sometimes Miami offers crazy discount on their eBay store.
