Frequently Asked Questions
What is a standard parts markup at a repair shop?
Matrix pricing is standard: cheap parts get high markups (100%+ under $10), expensive parts lower (25–40% over $200). A flat markup undercharges small parts and overprices big-ticket ones.
Why do shops mark up parts at all?
The markup covers sourcing, availability, warranty handling (you replace it free if it fails), returns, and inventory carrying. Customers pay for the guarantee, not just the part.
What about customers who bring their own parts?
Most shops decline or charge a higher labor rate and void workmanship warranty on the part. You lose parts margin and still own the comeback if their part fails.
