Legal Question in Business Law in Maryland

requesting payment above the quote

I had a written estimate completed on work I wanted done to my motorcycle. The estimate was $4200. when the work was completed the shop said that I owed an additional $1200 to the $4200 already paid. No additional work was completed nor was I advised of the difference in price for the services. I live in Maryland. What percent above the written quoted price is the shop legallly allowed to charge me? Especially since i wasn't notified of the additional costs and no other work was completed to the bike except what was agreed upon in writing.

Under MD law, the repair shop is not allowed to exceed the written estimate by more than 10% without the customer's consent.
