Yeah, I've experienced that & was put off, to say the least. That's
supposed to be part of the cost of doing business. I.e., overhead.
Included in the markup on wages & parts.

Got to thinking about it & here's what I think that we can expect next,
as far as extra charges permitted by the fine print:
-electricity
-heat
-insurance
-mortgage
This is fertile ground to be exploited.
