    If you are saying that you left the service book and note with them before the service then you have a strong case that backs up your account of the unrecorded phone conversation.

    Wait and see what they do next.

    Yes that is exactly what I did.  The note was missing when I got the service book back.
    It has now been resolved, see my last post.

    @snowy72 -  for future reference, when organising something like this over the 'phone, I always follow up with a confirmatory email with details of (1) work to be done (2) price and (3) to contact you in case extra work found.

    If they don't reply and/or don't agree, don't use them...
