lol. they really charged you 120 for all that. lol. Good thing it would take you maybe 30 minutes to start and finish. lol
You don't understand how imcompetant mechanics are here locally. It's really so pathetic it's disgusting. Recently, my co-worker had a horrible miss in his Corvette, took it to a shop that EVERYONE recommends, they replaced his carb, distributor, ignition & fuel pump. Didn't fix a thing.
I convinced him to take it to my old engine builder and within 20 minutes he said "stuck valve. $600 to fix it" after he just spent $890 in repairs at the other shop.
$60 bucks in parts a 1 hour of labor @ $60. I would have paid him even more if he charged it. I'd do the work myself but I don't have the time to do it anymore. I'm so glad I found a good mechanic finally.
I used to work at a place that got 20% off parts at napa then charge them napa retail price not the net price if you walked off the street could get....I was there a few months.....man it pissed me off to no end..
