They have to mark up the parts 60% because they got a special discount of 10% for you
For reference, see the discussion about contractors overcharging on remodels.
Apparently, because they save a couple of dollars on parts, it's okay to mark them up so that they make money on them way over what they saved.

They're called stealerships for a reason. Absolute highway robbery.

Did you get a call/quote before they did it?

This is fundamentally my fault. They quoted me via a link they sent me.

Edited original post to clarify I was quoted upfront. Mostly my fault.
