As previously stated above, I looked at two vehicles for other garages with same fault...both these had been accident damaged,both had been quoted to get the job.....
Tony in answer to your question, I believe people are using various firms that promise a "genuine quality product" at a cut down rate, it just doesnt live up to the billing, on the flipside , would you get any job if you quoted on main dealer supplied parts, I know I wouldnt.
I think the underlying issue is too many garages/mobile techs are devaluing the trade by charging too little/using cheap parts, the customer the gets the perception that these type of prices are the going rate for all repairs...hence when it comes to having to pay to have it correctly diagnosed/main dealer only part, it is then perceived as expensive and they are been ripped off.
Maybe this isnt the right place for this rant,but it seemed in context!!
