Does anyone know of a local mechanic/shop that is willing to install an aftermarket part that the customer sources?

Thanks in advance for any recs.

It typically depends on what it is for and the parts.

You talking online no name parts or one one of the main stream brands or OEM parts that you purchased online at a discount?

Sefciks used to. Don't know if they still do. Many will, but there won't be a warranty on any of it.

Most places have a slight markup for providing parts. They make their money on parts and labor, not just labor.

You might have to ask around.

Sorry- my phone auto corrects it to that, since that is how you spell a good portion of my familys last name. (And gets typed on it quite a bit). But also- id watch out, the mods on this board dont appreciate smartassery.

It's been a few years, but this guy did a great job for me when I had a AC compressor I gave up on doing myself. It was on a 2005 BMW 545i.
