For some DIY is to save money on material direct purchase, and save travelling to  / waiting time at the shop. For some it is just a labour of love.

Labour cost from workshop is high if you bring own parts. Where is the saving?

[Yeobh]

Shops will find is very very difficult to survive only on labour charges ( unless they charge at premium ) so they have to do trading - selling of parts , lubrication and accessories ( actually they are selling convienient - time is money )

Remember they are here to make profit , they are not social enterprise neither they are stanta clause , they are like us who has family to feed.

Note : I am not a shop operator , I happen to be associated with the automotive service industry for donkey years.

Can survive one. Just that the bosses want to make more money.

If they just make enough to cover direct cost without any "disposal income" to cover tool replacements, equipment service and repair etc etc how are they going to meet the need to service new cars that come to the market.

As I said they are in business to make money and grow the business not idle like they are in day one.
