To the OP, feel lucky that for only a $70 con you've now picked up at least two places in that area that do good work at a fair price.
Imagine if you would have rolled in with a major problem not knowing of the other places .
As they say "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me."
HOW did they take advantage of him????? They quoted him a price, he accepted, they did the work. Then he has buyers remorse. Doug
In the most black and white view, yes he knew, he had the right to leave and go elsewhere. The problem is more then likely he put a value on his personal time and was just passing thru and didn't know where to go. He is use to paying a lower price in his home area, and expected to be treated the same way.
The simple truth is when you're on the road you do get taken advantage of when you're in an unknown area. Not always, but this seems to be the simple fact of life. The shop knows they will never see you again or have to worry about word of mouth.
