Outrageous overbill by Kanter Automotive

you're not going to like what I think as a professional parts guy.
132% is too low. The number should be somewhere around 166%. That is an industry standard. that # pays bills and allows for a small margin of profit.
keep in mind, that it is not reasonable to expect that you could have gotten the job done cheaper. discounts are given to volume customers. he also bears the burden of warranty of your part and has to live with it if/when it comes back.

I also would have had a chat with who ever shipped your part. I would have done some creative billing since the cat was out of the bag.


so being a parts specialist, does that mean you would pay the crazy price of $340 for a power steering pump? be different if it was very rare but being an A body pump I doubt it is (maybe to most part places) but ebay and such they can be had without much hassle
