Of cause you know who eventually pays that $25  :-[

Apparently some dealers don't use it because of the cost.

What's that gunna achieve, other than putting up dealers' overheads, reducing their profits, them increasing their margins, contributing to their demise, etc .... 

We've already had two Honda franchises (Redwing & Jeffrey) shut their doors, options for me, and everyone else getting OEM parts are limited already.

Dead right, mate.  Dealers are not the enemy!
I'm sure Marcus is "joking".  Not sure about Kev...
