last November. We had just spent thousands there and said in the spring we will do it as we don't drive the van very often. Came back they wanted $250 more, original estimate $450.

He had car in shop thinking it couldn't be much more, when he found out he said stop everything and he took to another place and got done for $485.

They tried to say because of tariffs and parts but it hadn't even started yet. They had the parts bought when it was cheaper.
