	And it does (to them), because they can substitute whatever parts  
they want without question, since unless the customer speaks up, it  
doesn't matter.  I had the same problem with an insurance recommended  
shop from American Family.  When my Sable was damaged, that shop just  
wanted to total it because "we have better cars to fix that net us  
more money, sorry".  I took it to a guy who did work on his own, he  
did a better job than they would have done, and I had leftover money  
to fix a few other things!  I just find that the in the bed together  
scenario ends up leaving the unsuspecting customers being the ones on  
the short end of the stick.
