Why are (some) garages such lying rip offs?

A bit of rant and help needed.

Need to put the original OEM back box on my car and take out the Supersprint Race.

Went to Hi-Q and they wanted to charge me £80 + vat to undo
2 x clamps
2 x bolts
4 x rubber mounts

Which I know is a piss easy job and only took me and a friend like 20 minutes?

Seriously? :gunner:

The annoying part was he tried to make it sound like a complicated job saying
"you have to take the entire exhaust out from the manifold" and I was saying / thinking.

No you fucking don't! I tried to explain and even showed him the pictures I took on my phone to explain how easy it was.

So we went inside. He asked the boss, they originally said £50+vat and I was like - a bit much but never mind.
But then just as I was about to go, the boss asked the employee - "what car is it?" he said BMW M3.

Suddenly its £80 + vat. Err what de f***?
