Eli5 How come auto repair garages don’t keep spare car parts on site and have to order them?

660 views

I’d understand them not keeping spares of larger parts at the garages due to space issues, but I’m confused they wouldn’t have something like spare O-rings around (one is stopping my car from getting fixed/tested and the garage told me there’s been a shipping delay).

It costs money to buy spare parts you don’t necessarily need… and it takes space from the storage areas that can be used for other things that are of more immediate need, which is more use of money unnecessarily. Just my thought but I may be wrong.
