I am always amazed by how cheap some people are. They must squeak when they walk.
If the mechanic ran into problems and it took longer, I doubt the OP would offer to reimburse for the extra time it took and fall back on the quoted cost as the final price. Because the mechanic is taking a risk that the job might go south on him for unforseen circumstances, he better incorporate a little bit of buffer for a risk premium. That's business 101.
