Post by: WarrenJ on March 10, 2014, 05:08:35 AM When I was an engineer for a large appliance manufacturer, our parts department had the highest profit margin by far than any other segment of the business. Many companies massively jack up the spare parts prices to help mitigate their sagging bottom lines elsewhere. Not unusual, but no fun for the consumer.
