I'm thinking that his dad didn't pass the info about the needed parts on to the owner and made the call on re-using the parts instead.
Sounds like something my dad would do. Save the guy a couple hundred bucks and be the hero, then when it doesn't work, blame it on someone else. Both my parents liked to do things like that with our own stuff. Once I got a car I found it was worth the time off work to go have it worked on myself. I never got a straight answer when mom took it in for me, and it never got fixed.
I see people do that with things all the time. Save $50 by buying this tool set over that tool set (in the same brand), it has the same number and size of wrenches, but for the extra $50, you are getting 6 pt vs 12pt, stronger ratchets, etc, and the actual value might be $200-$300 more than the $50 you saved.
