They won’t let you carry in primarily because of warranty issues and headaches. If I install your part and there is a problem whose dime is it on? Even a clear cut parts failure is a bitch because the cheap bastard that brought the part in surely does not want to pay for the re-work. And if I didn’t source it I’m sure not going to eat the bad part. Then it is a pissing contest. Any gray area just compounds it 10000x.
It’s the same reason that shops don’t want to hear ‘I’m not paying for diagnostic time because autobone told me I need an O2 sensor’. If I just charge you an hour labor to install your autobone cheapo O2 sensor & clear your codes and your problem is not fixed, guess who gets bitched at? Not the moron at autobone. Because they have a fancy computer.
