as the saying goes.
Dealers do have to make a living and they will happily charge what the market will bear. The average consumer pays and often is unaware they are being hosed. Or don't care because they go to a dealer so they don't have to think about the part, the repair, etc. I know a guy who NEVER opens the hood of his car. He goes for scheduled service and when something dies.
I buy OEM or equivalent parts from site sponsors and either DIY or my indy will let me bring in my own parts, which I do some of the time. He then guaratees his work, but not the part. Works for me. But I won't buy from the dealer unless it's an emergency or it's the only way to get a part.
