Reply To: Opinion: Saying no to customer supplied parts is right but only in 99 per cent of cases

[Lawrence Wells]

As long as manufacturers charge excessive prices for components ie abs units, sensors, ecus etc there will be a requirement to fit tested used components. How they can justify charging £1000 plus for a component made in the third world for probably £30 Why scrap a perfectly viable vehicle with an abs light on when a 2nd hand component is available for say £75 You can work with a decent margin and help the customer. I would always price new first but if not affordable offer the remanufacture or 0salvage options. If the car is scrapped you’ve lost the job anyway
