The receipt I expect the customer to get, lists the items used and the price that the customer is being charged.

The confusion is the way you have written #2.
The first sentence says "the receipt" when you mean the invoice which the garage gives you.
One will never see or expect to see the invoice from the supplier to the garage. There is no reason for the garage to pass on the discount as somewhere they have to recover the cost of material handling.

According to a Google search I did, an invoice is a request for payment, a receipt is the proof of payment. The OP used the term receipt, it makes it easier in my opinion if replies follow suit. We do not know if the garage received an invoice or a receipt.

The OP used the expression of "receipt/proof of purchase"
As he has written it receipt could be a packing slip with the parts detailed on it, Proof of puchase would be an invoice from parts supplier.
As subsequent posts prooved (#3,4,5) your reply confused other members.

Bored now, 3 and 4 do not seem confused but of course they may be, I can't tell you why 5 is confused.

You can have the last word as I will not be adding anything else.

You confused them all, as they all think you meant the price the garage paid for the parts rather than the price you are being invoiced.

I am often confused - in fact life often seems like a permanent state of confusion.

But, on this occasion, I was perfectly clear on what was meant in post #2.

No, because the garage are under no obligation to disclose what they paid for parts to the customer (much as Asda won't tell you what they paid for bread that week).

I would however expect a receipt from the garage with the parts listed and itemised pricing from their point of view, but not from their supplier.
We supply a lot of garages, and wouldn't expect any of them to disclose deals / discounts they receive.

So, are you saying that members here do not get the best deals from you?

What you get is an invoice, you pay an invoice which should/will list the parts fitted and the cost they charge to you. The garage may give you when you pay a receipt,for instance a cc or debit card ticket or if you pay in cash the invoice would be endorsed by the garage with details of your payment. What they pay is their business as others have said. Chris.S.

Wether garages in the trade get ‘trade’ discount rather than members is irrelevant, this is how the supply chain works. A garage will buy more than an enthusiastic owner. I don’t think any members can complain about DMGRS prices.....
