Dishonest shops often double-dip labor when billing multiple Op Codes. For example, if parts must be removed to access HVAC Blower Motor Resistor Replacement, they shouldn't bill full Book Time for both codes.
Upsells or issues: sometimes the problem is just the blower resistor (if fan only works on high, for example) but a shop might replace the motor and resistor as a set unnecessarily; charging a lot of labor if it’s actually a quick job (some are very accessible, others not); using an OEM blower at triple the price of aftermarket without giving option.
