    Sundries often the car protection kit: paper mats, plastic seat cover and for the decent garages a steering wheel cover.

    I would hope most garages still provide these free of charge to protect the customers vehicle from their grubby mechanics!

    I also appreciate it when garages then remove their protective kits they fit rather than leaving their rubbish on the vehicle for the customer to dirty their hands collecting and disposing of.

    Sundries usually means small items that are not individually priced (but not included in the price of the part supplied) e.g. replacement seals, washers, split pins, etc, or perhaps top up fluids where the amount required did not justify charging separately.
