When I've needed to go to a mechanic to change my oil & filter, they usually have me bring in both the oil and the filter, since they don't keep them in stock. I wish they would have me do this for everything. I'd rather give them the parts myself. There have been a number of times that I have taken my car to a non-dealer shop and have been without my car for a week (or two!) while they're waiting for parts. It's such an incredible hassle - if you know what is wrong with your car, are willing to hunt down parts and want it to be fixed by someone else - you're going to be able to find someone who will be willing to work for labor alone. Just don't expect it to be the first place you call.
