NO not made of gold.
Economics 101
Retail Markup;
Alt cost - $125
Sell at - ..$250
Batt cost...$70
Sell at - ..$140
The garage marks the parts up so they can recover their operating expenses.
Admin, Electric, etc all the stuff thet you can't just call the customer and ask him to pay for.
And Yes,
I am glad I can fix my own stuff also.
In cases like that I will usually tell my freind, relative, or whoever,
Bring me parts and I will fix it for you.
I do a lot of work for free in my driveway and I charge when I get a referal.
"My freind said to call you " kind of thing.
