OK, so you wanted to complain about it, and you were asking a question based on your agenda rather than actual requests for information. Now I get it.
Look at it as a risk management exercise. Having a 70K vehicle IN the bay, much less disassembling it, assumes a responsibility for anything getting scratched, bent, etc.
If the reward isn't enough, there's zero reason for a businessperson to assume the risk.
I've been in this business for 20 years. Cars are harder to take apart than ever before, and plastics are more brittle and less flexible than ever before. As a very good installer I know says, if you didn't need to buy parts, there wouldn't be a parts department.
What's that old saw about the chalk mark costing 0.50 and knowing where t put it costing $49K?
