Here's a sucky situation, just curious what others think.
My friends motorcycle broke down 3 months ago. His friend said bring it by he would fix it. No mention of cost so my friend thought he was just being nice and helping out. My friend went over helped with the work bought all the parts.
About a month in the guy told my friend it was going to be about 400 bucks. The guy had to order some additional parts so my friend thought he was joking or just wanting to cover the parts.
We go to pick the bike up today and the guy says its going to be 900 bucks now. I thought he was joking but he goes on that his normal shop rate is 100 and hour and hes giving a break and did it for 85 an hour. My friend stood in shock waiting for a punch line never expecting it.
Whos at fault here. Was my friend wrong to not clearify. Was the guy wrong for doing work before stating cost. Even if he said 400 at first you can't double the price upon pickup.
Really crappy situation and I blame both of them. My friend is up in arms that he got robbed and he only paid the 400 and left.
