It comes down to two things. Interchangeability (is that a word?) of parts and lack of properly trained techs to work on imports. In other words you are going to pay more for a part for an import because they only fit certain makes and years, usually small where as gm, ford and chrysler have done a good job of using the same parts on similar vehicles thru the years thus bringing down the price.
