Significant Technical Input
Not to pick nits but the last time I bought a dozen eggs they cost me less than $1. Around 8 cents/ea. Add an egg to what you're already buying at the diner and add 85 cents. Big mark up, per centage-wise. Parts mark-up 30%? Try to find a shop that won't be offended, won't add additional time to your job and and you can still trust to work on your car. Doesn't matter how much the tech makes, that's between him and the owner. But since you brought that up, most techs these days do get a percentage of the parts.

I'm not trying to make any enemies here, I'm just saying that taking your own parts in won't make you any friends... *offers hand for friendly shake*
