I recently had to replace the front brakes on my '97 900se to have it pass safety before being able to sell it (the same day). I was in a hurry and drove it to my trusted mechanic. I noticed he used zimmerman rotors, when it came time to pay the bill it struck me as high, almost twice what I would have paid for them from an auto supplier parts store. Then I took a moment and quickly realized there were two mechanics working on the car at the time, and that he had to pay their wages. These are good guys that have their own right to earn a decent living and with that being said I layed down the cash, thanked them and headed on my way. Try to see the world with his perspective, his actions might then need no explanation.
