I used to allow my mechanic to put some markup on parts as he sees fit. He doesn't know that I know the trade specialist so I can look up the prices.
However, the last wing mirror was £100!
I'm going to order my own parts now!
It may piss them off but I really think it counts in knowing a bit more what you are getting - to hold what you own in your hand before it goes in, to know the quality of it.
Draw the line at oil? Depends on how much I trust them. If it's a new place I'd rather pour it in myself!
As for the pictures,
I go next door, get a McDonalds cheese burger and sneak it in. This is as wrong as they are tit for tat. mmm, so wrong yet so right
