Nah! I remember being told that it had something to do with any warranty work that had to be done concerning the parts. The people THEY buy the parts from will honor warrantees on the parts, but if the shop installs YOUR part they don't know where it came from, and how good (or bad) it is. Left unsaid was the uplift in price from what THEY paid to what YOU pay. I guess that either point has some merit.
