    A constant source of friction in dealerships centers on how sublet work should be handled. This is important to parts managers because in most stores sublet repairs are priced and charged out on the repair order by the parts department.

Furthermore service advisors feel that there should be a minimal markup because the repairs weren't performed at the dealership!
