Subject:internet discount parts - shops are catching on.... :<(
Date:Mon, 24 Aug 1998 09:23:09 EDT

today the shop who does some of the things that i don't have time to do, (or
have the patience to do) told me that "we will no longer install customer
supplied parts".
that almost makes repairs unaffordable...
they said "If a customer has enough time to search the web for discount parts,
then they have enough time to install them theirselves...we lose too much
money installing customers parts"

time to find another shop...
they will lose customers fast...i had to have my turbo replaced in my audi 2
yrs ago - if i hadnt bought the rebuilt turbo wholesale, i would have had to
junk the car....

for as much as they charge for labor..i dont know what theyre whining about..

just bitching...
