Ask for a discount; you may get it!
I went to Kragen Auto supply this morning to pick up 6 quarts of Mobil 1. The list price was $6.99 per quart. At the register the clerk rang me up and pronounced the total. I looked him straight in the eye and said, "don't I get a discount"? He said "sure", and charged me $4.99 per quart, or 29% off list. I thanked him and left.
Moral: always ask for the discount!

Find it kind of funny that it was the OP's one and only post. Someone was bored.
Or maybe a part of a grand scheme?
Speaking of discounts, My local Toyota dealerships does that if you show your business card from a mechanic shop.

I agree that if youre a repeat customer, most places wont mind giving you a deal.
I worked at a wrecking yard doing sales and I had a guy coming in and asking for a discount. Every second word was 'where is my discount?' Needless to say, it agravated me to the point where I sold him his bumper at 15% over list price for being an idiot.
I say ask for the discount politely, once. If the guy is able to, he will give a little at first. After a few return visits and he knows you, he will treat you like an old friend and you wont even have to ask.....

Yeah, my Toyota Parts guys always give me discounts, which is pretty cool of them.
Anyway, I just thought I'd pass on my experience. It doesn't hurt to (nicely) ask.

When I worked at Cingular/ATT I used to be able to give discounts at my discretion. Just so you all know phone accessories are marked up like crazy. A twenty dollar charger would really cost the company 2.50. If you buy enough or you ask nicely and be patient you'll be able to get large discounts!

The oil filter for my runner comes out to about $5.36 or something like that. Thats in Canadian dollars though...
Air filter i think is around 24...I paid full price once when I was in Fort Mcmurray and paid 38 or 42 or something ridiculous like that
