With the focus on liability , why would a mechanic install a part that he has no idea where it is from? If the part fails and a accident and or injury happens then he might be called on the carpet. Especially with online sales where we really don't know the history or origin of some of these parts.
Great analogy..ðŸ‘.. and spot on on the liability thing. I know it's not the ONLY reason but it's a big one.
