Look at you thinking they put components you haven't paid for in your vehicle. Sweet summer child. You do know what profit is right? That's the money after everything is paid for, they don't sell them without making a profit.

I never said that. Of course you pay for everything that's in your car, but it's certainly possible it would cost you more not to have them put it in there, that's the crux of the matter.

Pretty sure 'cheaper' is a misnomer when profit exists.
