Prevost Parts Pricing
Before buying parts that aren’t uniquely Prevost you might want to check their prices. I recently had to replace the throttle position sensor mounted under the fuel pedal. I was at a Detroit Diesel service center and their list price for the part was $270! I assumed their price would be on par with other–Wrong! Weeks later I asked a Prevost parts guy what their price was and I was sickened to discover Prevost’s price to be more than $100 less. He went on to tell me that Volvo’s buying power often results in very competitive pricing. Their price on a set of belts, as another example, was also less than I paid at NAPA.
If you are at a Prevost facility or have to order Prevost unique parts, don’t assume thier prices will be higher than others.

We touched on this on another thread. I have learned that on some parts it is impossible to beat Prevost pricing and convenience. There is no place on the planet that sells air bags as inexpensively.
But sometimes other parts are over priced so it is worth shopping. The best example for shopping is the price of brake chambers. The local truck parts stores are very competitive and on a complete coach brake chamber replacement you can save close to $1000 based on the last quoted prices and what I paid.
