LOL re extraction/replenishing, well ironically enough I left a few quarts of oil to top it off and they actually charged me $30 to put two quarts of oil in the car b/c it's "a process to ensure you have the right level and requires shop time." I mean, even that seems a bit ridiculous...

So thanks to all for the feedback, any other feedback is still welcome!

Is there a way to go back to the owner of the shop and say "Man, what's up with this?" or better just to cut losses and move on? The guy that invoiced me was just the shop manager, not the owner.

BTW, where I went was Bristow's Automotive in Tacoma, WA. It's owned by Pete Bristow who seems like a super nice guy and I like personally, but this is my second service with them with a similar experience of what feels like exorbitant pricing...

My biggest problem is that I live over an hour away from Seattle where there are some great wrenches, down here in Oly there aren't many choices...
