Well Rick, what happened maybe is that the repair guys who actually often accomplish something learned a few of the tricks that lawyers, CPA's, financial advisors, etc etc have been doing for years...they told you how complex and difficult it was so that the bill was more palatable.
Heck, I would always do that when some jerk-off big wheel at a plant who didn't know ***** would insist that I give him a time/cost figure on a repair that my guys were going to do. I would triple everything. (it's called wiggle room) Make everything sound like it took a combination of genius and mechanical wizardary to get it done and then the bozo was happy as hell when it only took 1/2 as long at 1/2 the cost!
