operator, it wasn't a complaint. The OP asked how much extra he should be paying. You could weigh in with your opinion by providing an answer. How much do you think he should have paid? It would help him in the future, and it might make him willing to pay it. You're a good mechanic with knowledge of the industry, so your opinion counts.
