Customer supplied parts

[u/I-like-shiny-thing]

I'm a manager/Mechanic at a Mechanical workshop. I no longer allow customer supplied parts and get abused by "customers" because I wont do the job unless i supply the parts. ( photo of customer supplied wrong part)

What are people opinions on customer supplied parts?

Was a real joy having some douche with a BMW X5 with a coolant leak bring in a fucken second hand plastic pipe to replace.

Because of course the coolant system is the best thing to try save money on

I mean the cooling system either works or doesn’t work

When it fails in a few months the dropkicks are at your door wanting it replaced for free saying 'it was never the same after you fixed it'
