Your post got me to thinking about all the times I worked 12+ hours a day trying to keep up with the work load at the shop or put 3 mechanics on a job to get it done faster for someone who was in a rush.
This may or may not be what had happened with your engine.
If I quote you $??? for a job and you agree then that's all I charge you for the job the the logistics of how I get the job done is not your problem to dwell on as long as it is done properly.
Not every business runs 9-5
Say you called me up and asked for a price to replace a torn boot on a CV shaft.
I quote you $50 in parts and for example 2 hours or $200 in labor to R+R the shaft and replace the boot and you say go ahead.
I put it on the hoist and see that both boots are torn up bad so I put on a complete new shaft that I had on the shelf, it only takes me a little more than a half hour to install it and I only charge you the agreed upon $250 are you now angry because you only waited less than an hour to get your vehicle back or are you angry because you got a complete new shaft with both boots for the same money?
Let's say I was going to make $10 on the boot and $80 after expenses on the labor = $90
The shaft costs me $110 plus $50 to install it so in the end after you pay me $250 I make $90 you get more than you asked for and I have some time to try and get caught up.
