agreed. not as a business objective and repairs aren't a profit center either I hope but I'd think parts are cost (including warehousing and administration) plus X and I'd think there'd be a kickback of sorts from CRIS also but can't know for a fact of course. Amen to the shoddy goods bit though, SDM doesn't cut it - I just hope DC does...
