it depends on the shop, either's attitudes, as well as the previous relationship with the people of the shop. i've got 3 different places that i could bring my own parts to if i wanted. i know them all well, and know they would do it because of our pasts--all of them know i do a ton of my own work, but sometimes run out of time, so it's not uncommon for me to have the parts but not the time. but because of that relationship, if i supply something and it breaks, i know not to go back to them other than to give them a hard time about it. they're also not afraid to tell me that what i ordered is crap, and they've had better success with a brand they can supply...

but all 3 of them have stories of some random jamoke showing up, and rudely demanding that they install a cheap part--sometimes a used part-- for as cheap as possible. to which they're preference is to decline doing the work at all.
