I love when an auto shop tries to treat people like clueless idiots and it burns them.
Had my vehicle in for a tire swap, getting the outer tie-rod ends done, and to get some front-end work quoted... they tried to quote me $5,500 for the parts and labour to do two lower control arms, two sway bar end links, two front wheel hubs with bearings, and an alignment, the parts being ~$4,000 of the quoted price. I mentioned I could get factory OE parts for ~$1,283 CAD shipped (I had the parts with hardware sitting in my cart ready to buy), at which point I was informed they won't use customer-supplied parts "we use high quality parts blah blah". Funny how they were cool with installing my customer-supplied outer tie-rod ends when I showed up, but then the chance to make a few thousand dollars with their 310% markup reared its head.
I went elsewhere.
