100% - 300% markup on parts. Caught red-handed and all he could say was "we have overhead... Everyone does it.".BS. Good honest shops charge a SMALL markup on parts and make money on their labor. Here are the parts (and I pulled it up by part # right I'm front of him.) Rotors $145. They charged me $200 a piece. Calipers $42.
They charged me $88 a piece. Brake lines $16. They charged me $55 a piece. Bearings $8. They charged me $20 a piece. Wheel seals $3. They charged me $9. Plus almost $500 to do front brakes! Slow workers if it took them 5 hours to do the work. Assuming $100 per hour.
So they made about $350 ordering the parts!!! I would have went and picked up the parts to save myself $350. That's even assuming they pay online prices, which you know they get a discount with a business account. Scam artist. Real slick Charlie. Go anywhere else. These guys are probably rich pulling this crap. It's ok. What goes around comes around.
