I doubt that he is kidding. I have read several such repair bills over the years. It goes more to the mindset of the person paying the bill than to the person writing it. There are some people with such automobiles, that to begin with think that there is only one shop in their five state region capable of changing oil and filter.

To further that mindset, they approach it as if it were an aircraft, replacing every small part, or big part for that matter, that has to be unbolted to effect the actual repair being performed.

When the shop is done with a relatively routine repair, they have billed the customer for new bolts, brackets, castings and covers to a point that is unbelievable.
