Legal Question in Business Law in California
Recently a student from DeAnza brought his car to a repair shop for a brake job. The service writer gave him a written quote of $300 for the repair. The student agreed and signed the quote.
As he was leaving, the student mentioned to one of the mechanics that he needed an oil change.
The next day when the student came to pick up the car the bill was for $330 - $300 for the brake job and $30 for the oil change. The student told the cashier he had not authorized the oil change.
How should this be handled by both parties? What are the risks for both?

This sounds like a homework question. Do your own homework.
The student should pay for the oil change, and learn a lesson to keep his or her mouth shut in the future.
The student should be delighted to get such a cheap oil change, and that the brake job came in right on the estimate - which is what repair shop "quotations" really are!
