this is what I kinda think.
they put all the rims on and stuff, got it good and ready to go, THEN realized I needed a new rear back rotor, had to take the back tire off and screw around with that, I dont know.
I agree, it shouldnt have taken more than 3 or so hours, these are professionals and they got EVERY tool known to mankind.
how much are moose tubes? I know my brake complication adds an extra 200$. Like I said, I was estimating that the bill was 300-500 and thats with the new rotor and pads, not 820.

rotor 140, pads are like 40 i think, moose tube is like 40-60, i know its really expensive for a tube, 10 dollars for brake fluid. 5 mins to take wheel off, 15 mins to change tire and tube, 5 mins to change rotor, 5 mins to change pads, 5 mins to change caliper, 5 mins to put wheel back on.
