It seems people in this thread want to cut corners , save a buck buying questionable parts and then want the workshop to fit a square in a round hole and blame the workshop if it doesn't fit .

The problem starts because Joe Public doesn't bother to understand what it takes to run a business.
Joe (or his missus) works for Coles and gets paid $30 an hour, so he can't understand why a mechanic should charge him $200 an hour. (God help him if he ever needs to hire a Lawyer, the shock will kill him.)
So then, rather than try to educate people, the workshops fudge their numbers and keep their labour rates as low as possible whilst jacking up parts and consumables. But when confronted, and asked why their cost is $100 more than at supacrap, they bs. So old-mate thinks he's doing them a favour by going to sca and buying the part himself.
