At Sal's in Wolfeboro, I specify Mobil 1 and the most-improved filter obtainable--even after accumulating 190,000 trouble-free miles.
The point is that there are some assumptions always made—you'll get a new filter, not used; it'll include a new o-ring; the oil won't be the wrong weight; etc.

In this case, I think both parties erred and the question would be what the best solution is. To my mind, it would be a discounted price on the trim and the understanding that future work would be clearly defined.
