My perspective is different still.
1. It seems to me that every shop should have a policy on customer-supplied parts, and that policy should be up to them based on their own philosophy and experience;
2. It seems crazy to me to own a fine car like a 560SL and then take it to mechanics who work on NYC taxicabs and can't even be trusted to order brake parts.
Where are you going to go when you have a real problem - you need a relationship with a real shop and you get it by being an honest-to-God customer.
