Surely manufacturers would rake in money if all part diagrams and numbers with prices were available to everyone, as anyone can just purchase the OEM Part direct instead? This is especially useful for bolts when replacing rusted out boltsAFAIK only JLR allow this for their cars https://parts.jaguarlandroverclassic.com/

Aston Martin also does this.https://www.astonstore.co.uk/product-category/complete-catalogue-new/?srsltid=AfmBOood2rPSdQukNr9d5ft2_espSottgrc_QVNGRh7fw6zkkn79Xum7
They do tho even Tesla does https://parts.tesla.com/Bongs are abousulely reaching for anything now >uh why don't other cars have wheels?
Volvo does it as wellhttps://usparts.volvocars.com/
>>28983853>purchase the OEM Part direct instead?Modern cars are just parts bin specials. There aren't many OEM parts. It's not like they're making their own nuts and bolts. Just figure out the size and buy a new one at the hardware store. Why get fucked with dealership pricing?
>>28984149>Why get fucked with dealership pricing?They'll double check that you're buying the right parts in the right quantities and you can get some advice on the job if you need it.It's still a rip off, but not without some benefits.
>>28984152lmao I wouldn't trust a dealership to wash my car let alone change the oil. You really think the dumbass service advisor it going to tell you how to fix your shit? Okay but you go ahead and okay $20 for a bolt.
>>28984157>You really think the dumbass service advisor it going to tell you how to fix your shit?Yeah lolWe had a few emails back and forth, nice guy
>>28983853>WhyWe've entered the 'fuck you pay me' phase of capitalism
