Pricing parts at a fixed 60% margin forces auto repair shops to use low-quality parts from specific distributors, leading to inability to source proper parts for some vehicles and lost revenue.

Current pricing strategy is rigid and does not allow for flexible markup based on part quality or availability, causing service denials.
