however, I think what triggers most people's bullsh!t detector in this situation is not the cost, but what the normal cost is. The bottom line is that the costs you just described do not surprise me whatsoever, because they are expected to be high, and consistently so. But paying $155 for plugs blows me away... even worst case scenario that's $100 in labor (if we're talking $13/ea PFR's) for a 20-30 minute job. If they're using copper plugs, they just charged him $140 for labor, which is robbery. A shop with enough value to charge $300 an hour better be doing something more complex then turning a 5/8" socket a couple times.
