Dishonest shops often double-dip labor when billing multiple Op Codes. For example, if parts must be removed to access Power Steering Fluid Flush, they shouldn't bill full Book Time for both codes.
Many modern cars have electric power steering (no fluid) but some shops may not note that and might list a flush (obviously not applicable); for hydraulic systems, flushes are often upsold even though manufacturer may not require it regularly. They might use a simple turkey baster method but charge for a full flush; claiming dark fluid necessitates flush, though slightly dark is normal aging.
