If they go that way, it would only be fair that they only charge me 50% of THEIR COST for the replacement parts. It wouldnt be right if they did 50% of the replacement part's full retail cost. Then for the labor it should be 50% of the labor cost without any "padding", I know mechanics like to pad their labor estimates for increased profit.
If they do decide to go with the 50% deal I listed above I would not be happy, but I also would not begrudge them. If they decide to cover everything 100% then I would be happy. If it goes worst case, I pay for everything then I will be sure their customers hear about the disservice done to me.
