re: Auto mechanics - how much mark up on parts do you feel is fair market value nowadays?

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.

I don’t blame them. If someone is bringing their own parts, they’re already showing to be frugal so it’s quite possible that they bought the cheapest they could find. They mechanic could get down halfway through the job only to realize something doesn’t fit correctly. That would be a tough position for the mechanic.
