Why doesn't my mechanic want to use my parts?

[GregsterEV]

Le probleme n est pas la, mais surtout que c est la meme piece, alors tu t attends a payer le meme prix
Charge plus sur le taux horaire, persone va se plaindre de ca.
Donc en resume, tu peux charger ce que tu veux pour le service, surtout si le service est spécialise.(comme les exemples plus haut: avocat, etc)

Mais ca faut aucun sens de se prendre 30-40% de marge sur la piece que n importe quel joe blow peut acheter sur rockauto. Ca c est du vol.

The professional such as Doctor or Lawyer just wants their car fixed as do most people. They don’t have time to go on rock auto, source parts and wait a week. Truthfully its a very small percentage that do very small and sometimes we even tell them its cheaper at x place

It works if you are planning repairs or have a project.
Anyways there is no winning with some people. Somehow random people know the industry better

Il ni a aucun probleme de mon coté.

Tu t'attend de payé le meme prix pour une piece que tu es capable d'avoir en 1h vs 4-5 jours? Ok on part de loin. On rajoute un fournisseur dans l'équation, comment veux tu que les garage arrive au même prix qu'internet?

what are the difference nowadays?

I believe 15y back, shops prices were 2-5x higher than the local part shop, but now with internet and all the competition, I can't see how shops are that much expensive than reputable website ?

I mean ''classic'' parts, not a Lambo ECU that someone sourced used instead of the dealer.

Dont forget the parts stores were for the most part independent now its all corporate owned. Yes the internet played major part but parts store still delivers that part same day, will warranty same day or next day. You pay a premium for such service vs just the guy drop shipping.. Internet you risk wrong parts and of iffy origin.

So to answer your question yes competition did help but at the same time cars also got harder to repair. Carrying multiple software licenses is normal and not cheap. Neither is reoccurring training. Thats if you want to invest… then toss in continue staffing issues.

For lots of stuff these days it will be OEM or nothing as I dont want to do that job again. Too many problems. Porsche valve timing solenoids for example

Ultimement ce qui écœure le monde au Québec c'est de passer son temps au garage. Avec les routes et l'hiver les autos se maganent vite, et malheureusement le garagiste des fois c'est le souffre douleur.

Ça et aussi le fait qu'une réputation se fait souvent avec une minorité de croches et d'incompétents.

Same everywhere. My friend has a well known Porsche garage in UK and we have the exact same
Tales of cars, clients and issues.

You don't think the average car has more issues here?

Half of the things I have repaired on my truck is due to rust and all these potholes are certainly not helping.

Rust is just as bad if not worse in the UK. Likely worse. They use table salt in the winter on the roads. The roads are also lower than fields so always dirty/mud that get caked on. Also always wet

The amount of corrosion is insane. I didn’t know modern Porsches can rot like that

va te louer un espace commercial, paye tes assurances commerciales, paye toi des outils , paye toi de l'équipement spécialisé ( lift, machine à pneus, balanceur, soudeuse , machine à alignement etc ) , paye toi les produits , graisse, lock-tite, anti-seize, gants etc

ensuite essaye de te verser un bon salaire , cotise à un reer à la même hauteur qu'un employé municipale ou du gouvernement pour avoir une '' belle '' retraite ''

c'est une business, pas un organisme sans but lucratif ( OBSL )

T'essaie tu de me faire verser une larme que le garagiste-entrepreneur du coin a de la misère a couvrir ses couts parce que ses gars font trop de stock le soir pis y'opère pas pendant la saison de pneus? qui se paye un bon fiscaliste avant d'me faire payer un extra pour une lichée d'anti-seize qui mettra pas, j'vais rentabilsiser mes outils pis financer ma propre retraite avant celle des autres

y'a aussi un juste milieu versus offrir un service honête et simplement ambitionner sur ta marge de profit, c'est ça qui justifie mon point, j'ai pas de problème à payer un spécialiste quand j'me fais pas rincer intentionnellement

For the most part people store 911 etc here in Winter. There that isnt the case. He keeps brake lines, fuel line, coolant pipes etc in stock 996,996 etc

Front lower crossmembers rot the tabs off as well.

Fine table salt used on roads… gets everywhere
