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

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).

They do carry some parts, financially it wouldn’t be the best buisness model for them to carry everything that could go wrong with a vehicle. Most mechanic shops have parts stores that have everything (mostly) on speed dial that deliver them parts all day long.
