I called the shop back before ordering the parts and asked about the price of the parts and was told that price was not high and that they won't install parts unless you buy them from them. Their policy is fine, it's theirs, even if I don't agree with it since it is the same part number they were going to install and not a knock-off part, but their 380% markup over a retail website is ridiculous since they probably pay even less than I did.
Anytime you get a parts quote from them, check it online as they might be ripping you off.

Parts markup is normal business practice, and every business does it. The steak you ate at a restaraunt did not cost them $20. You could buy it at a grocer yourself and save about $17.
