sounds to me they are trying to line their pockets. I have removed broken studs by welding a washer to the stud and then;) a nut to the washer and usually works better than you think. I thinking just heating the stud up helps free it. Also you only can do this with a Mig welder.
Its a Cummins shop, and if you saw the hourly rate, I'm sure you would say that they are trying to line their pockets. Thats just the way it is! I try to avoid those places. Lots of good Cummins mechanics out there, and they don't work in a Cummins shop! But the think is that lots of good mechanics do not like to work on Diesel Pushers. That is what sticks the feather in Cummins Coachcare's cap.
