If you run the business 'properly' then 'supply and fix' is the norm.
If you go for a meal in a restaurant, do you take your own, uncooked
food in and then ask the chef to cook it based on his hourly rate? If
you did, it would be you in the cooking pot!

And think of the profit aftermarket car component suppliers are making
on *every* part!

Fine. You pay that if you want. It's a reason why I DIY. The supplier is
already making one profit - I don't expect to give a plumber his cut on
top. Plus the fact that I'd want to choose what is fitted - not just what
he finds easy.
