Hello,

Well you are right about being able to get the parts from a parts store for about half price. The Garages charge list price on parts. This is because of the overhead they have, you know paying employees, bills, etc.

And to be honest some seem a little high on pricing but other seem way low so all in all the prices quoted are reasonable.
