You bring them the parts, they will make up the profit somewhere, and it's not like you're going to be their favorite customer, either.

Sure if it's some special imported from Japan bumper you had to wait 6 months for, that's different, but the only way I'd carry parts into a body shop (outside of something small/cheap) is if I were going to carry it back out as parts and install it myself.
