Because of the intent of the overcharge...mere greed...I cannot give a higher rating.
RE: I was told 35.00 to look at my clock and fix a jam. 100.00 if it was broken and he would add another motion to it even though it worked, just to make sure the clock was in top condition. It was a clock I got at an estate sale that he sells in his shop for under 600.00.
He found out I only paid 15.00 for it (I didn't know it was that valuable and thought he would rejoice in my great find.) Not so, When I picked it up it , the charge was 100.00. Was anything broken? No just a jam, but he told me he had put a note on my clock to charge me 100 no matter what and said I had agreed to it. (he said it was on tape, but hasn't produced it) Seriously? For a simple transaction? The problem was he didn't lie about my clock when I picked it up and told me the truth...it was just a jam. He thought I had forgotten our conversation. And his behavior following exceeds the limits of this post. I left feeling as if I had dealt with a slippery and unprofessional business owner who is used to being the only one in town in his field.
