Lake and Autoserv wanted me to sign a contract before they begin. I pay that price even if they find the problem in one minute. Something about going by a 'flat rate' book. One reason why I refuse.
I was told it evens out at the end. Sometimes it will take hours to do a job when the flat rate book says an hour. They can not change the price that you signed for.
I guess I am lucky that Lake and Autoserv did not charge me for the engine analysis. Bonneville in Manchester and Allen Mello in Nashua wants $40!
