I had to comment on the shop supplies Elite. $50.00 aint much. Look at it like this. You have to use some type of rust lubricant for the bolts, anitsieze on the plugs, dielectric grease on the wires, shop towels, hand soap, and other assundary items. I am not going to comment on the rest of the bill but the shop supplies seem right.

at least they didn't charge you for removing the old plugs in order to put in the new ones

He obviously didn't get any grease when they gave him the bill, it's a pretty shady hand written receipt.
I hope that he's learned from getting his car worked on by someone else.

Hmmm, per car----rust lubricant = .10 cents, antisieze = $2.00, grease = $3.00, shop towels = .15 cents, soap = .05 cents, other items (broom to sweep floor-trash bags....never been charged a "shop fee") You dont need a mathematician to explain to you that $5.30 is not the same thing as $50. A SHOP FEE????? Everything they buy is in bulk, WHAT A JOKE!
