As a cessnapilot it seems you would be used to overpaying for less value.
Just kidding, I have friends that drive cessnas, but you didnt hear that from me.
Sam and Jim both have valid points.
If you took it to him and said here, fix this. Then its gonna cost ya.
But if you have a quote in writing there is usually a clause that says if it goes over **% of estimate it has to be approved before work is done.
This brings up a sore spot I have had for years. In the aviation community it seems that the longer your plane sits in the maintenance hanger the bill goes up proportionately. If he says it will be 5 days and it is still setting in the corner all by itself 15 days later, the price goes up about 300 per week whether any one touches it or not. I think they just let them set there to make it look like a bigger job than it is.
Auto mechanics do this all the time. If the rate book says it is a hour and a half jof and they do it in 1/2 hour they still charge you the 1 1/2 hrs. which ought to be against the law. If it took them longer than 1 1/2 hr you can bet your bottom they would charge you for it.
