I don't think my bike shop does that......but my car dealer certainly does........or tries to anyway. I always question it and often get an adjustment.

Tire rotation and off-the-car balancing is an excellent example, along with brake inspection.
IIRC, they once tried to charge me for removing and replacing the tires THREE times. What a crock.

At any rate, it is always good to ask if they use the flat rate manual.......and if they DO, then ask if they make adjustments for work that "overlaps". If not, I'd argue the point......or go elsewhere.
