You're lucky they didn't charge you a "Shop Supplies" fee in addition!

I saw a neat sign in a mechanics shop long ago

ALL LABOR $30 PER HOUR

$40 IF YOU WATCH

$50 IF YOU HELP

$75 IF YOU TRIED TO FIX IT FIRST

My dad had a foreign car garage in Redondo Beach, CA until he retired. He had a cartoon hanging up with two hobo's sitting around a campfire. One was saying to the other "When I had a garage, I had the cheapest prices in town.".

When my dad gave an estimate for an engine rebuild, re-tuning the engine and a 100-500 mile service was included in the price. He usually had the one of the highest estimates in town and had a line of people waiting to get work done. Sometimes you have to balance quality work with co$t.
