[quote=teamprairiedog]...I have no problem with a shop obtaining the parts but I do have a big problem with them charging me more $$ for the parts than what I can buy them over the counter for...
I have no problem paying shops retail for parts, but the shops should and probably do get parts wholesale or at a big discount. My problem is when they mark them up way above retail. That is a bad business practice.
Example. I can buy a Dodge front end stabilize bar from Adavnced Auto for about $350. Shops can probably get it for less than $300 The last quote I got, the front end shop wanted $450 for the exact same bar. That shop does not get my business any more.
