See if they'll let you provide the parts. You'll likely incur an increased labor fee, but the upsell on parts is usually crazy. And you'll be on your own for warranty replacement of the part.

Source: When I worked in a shop, we would end up ordering the brand Rhino for the clutches people needed. These usually cost the shop 2-300 for a woven disc and installation tools, but the service writer was told to mark these up to 2-300%, since we'd typically beat the book time significantly. (book time for most jobs would cite 8-10 hours and on some cars this could be accomplished in 2 or 3) so we'd gouge on parts and not labor to seem better for the customers, while also maximizing shop output and $$$$$$$$$$

Changed trades since I'm not really into being a thief under the management I worked for.
