And if they’re making money off strictly labor they’re going to charge you for everything from the 10 minutes to put your car up on a lift, to the time it takes to lower it down and put it in the parking lot and do your paperwork. It’s an evil necessity, but if they install YOUR parts at a reasonable price, they will be losing money.
