Is there a website that lists specific make auto parts at the wholesale price before dealer mark up?

We all know dealers and mechanics mark up the prices on the parts. They're not just making money on labor. Is there a "sneaky" website that knows the wholesale price of parts, say, for Hyundai or any other manufacturer? Thanks

If you're talking about aftermarket parts which most mechanics use to maximize profit there are sites which offer a good value. When ordering parts whether oem or aftermarket I usually go through one of my friends who owns a shop getting his discount.

As far as oem parts. That's another story as the manufacturer doesn't sell direct to DIYers to protect the dealers.

When working on my vehicles I usually order the factory manuals and noticed they don't come with part numbers or pricing. Where I've found the wholesale prices of parts is on vehicle specific parts lists sold on ebay. They list the part no., the wholesale, and suggested retail price of the parts.
