EDITED: The mechanic/rental guy. She protested and the guy called the owner or manager who came on over. He also charged her. It took a lot of aruging for her to get a reciept from the manager guy.
I looked up some LBS service prices here in Lativa. For the same price she could have had a front fork with shocks changed. Or she could have changed a hub or rim AND had a deraliurer changed...
