Then what? Bring the parts to a mechanic to install? I tried to do that once and was repeatedly denied by several mechanics. They insisted that they source the part. This was 10 years ago though.
Has that changed with the proliferation of online vendors?

In my experience mechanics don’t want to deal with customers who bring the wrong part, or the warranty issues, if one of those customer supplied parts is defective.
It’s easier and simpler for them to do all the ordering. They’re much less likely to make a mistake than a customer.

Because many customers will buy the cheapest POS parts then complain when they fail and want the shop to eat labor to repair.
