wow tyhats just crazy...how about wally world ..they usually have refills..i heard that starting next year you will not be able to get aftermarket parts for gm cars. onlt from the dealer..ok hows that gonna work..

Actually as for the no aftermarket parts ,that is not true. One they dont actually have any control on Delphi since they are seprerated from GM now same as Visteon is seprated from Ford.
One of the big reasons they seperated was to lessen the negative over head to certain sections. another is that they were trying to be competetive by getting the aftermarket line more diverse and out from under the UAW cotracting.
Thanks to local union bargaining the local "Ford" plant in Bedford IN was about to close due to price/sales problems. In other words the plants aprts were way too high in production cost because some people were getting a very large wage to very low level job. I had a friend who worked there and was getting paid a very large wage to walk around and replenish certain things from a cart and he made double what Ido as a Certified tech.
Anyway that afore mentioned act makes it illegal to deny any info/parts to aftermarket repair facilities.
Most information is about 2/3 yrs out as we find, besides that is about the normal time still covered under very basic warranties.
Being in the repair buisness its getting tougher to locate info and tools but its coming along.
Besides everytime they talk about locking up repair technology and parts the aftermarket comes back and proves that the number of dealers could not handle ALL of the repairs/service required for ALL cars 5 yrs old and newer is unrealistic and actually impossible.
To think that they actually had any idea what they wanted ,here goes. In an average town (Bloomington Indiana) with 3 GM dealers to meet the 5yrs and newer service projections from all of their sale in last 5 yrs AND local influx of students with GM cars. They would have to staff on the average 23 techs and a minimum of 45 to 50 bays.
Now as for the wiper dilema try NAPA or Carquest.
