Replacing the PCB blew the fuse (twice). He traced in back to the pump
and I was told how much THAT would be.

So it just sort of accummulated, not all in one hit.

It all sounded very plausible to the novice, but just leaves a nasty
taste, especially after checking the price that 'I' could get the
parts for.

Think you really need to state which parts were replaced, the make and
model and the price charged for each.
