Not sure what prices you saw popping up online or what you were charged, but I’d agree that 800% is highway robbery.
Some shops run flat rate pricing programs and have a big database of what to charge for all manner of jobs. These prices generally give them a handsome profit even in worst-case scenarios. Not sure how it works for repeat clients though.... perhaps some are just scared of finding a company that charges even more and stay with the ‘devil’ they know?? Generally speaking, the bigger the advertising program and the louder the truck signage, the more you’ll be paying.
