Did I get raped by this mechanic?

Took it in to MIDAS for steering and brake check.  Came back and had this bill.  

Wtf. But I paid it cause the work was done.  Are those prices even fair? $1.12k total

How did it feel when he drilled you

[Mikoyan]

Sounds fair to me.

Did he put the car lifting thing into your star fish and stretch it out?

Keep this stuff in drama you prick.

e.i. Yes you did get ripped off it appears. Most mechanics really aren't that reliable.

Dang that sucks.

My dad had to change the brakes on the previous van we had when the brake pads wore completely out causing the calipers to dig into the rotors destroying them.  He just bought the parts and he and I replaced them ourselves to cut out the labor costs, but it was hard work on a 3 ton van.

I laughed at "shop supplies charge." What the forget is that? If the shop doesn't have the supplies to fix your car that's their own fault, they shouldn't charge you for their incompetency. I have no idea what an "axle shaft seal" is, but I'd probably be pretty angry if I went to pick up my car from a brake check and they'd done $500 worth of repairs I didn't ask for without consulting me first.

why did they put a maxi-pad on your brakes
