Full refund and then reveal the thief here please. Wouldn't let them touch the car again.

Would really like to see the invoice before passing judgment. It might just be me but I've gotten the sense that the OP was not real clear on what work was done and was not up to speed on the IMS bearing issue as others were. This is probably a misunderstanding rather than fraud.

But why would you think that the bearing could be removed and installed without any labor? It's not like replacing a gas cap. You need a special tool to extract it and even though the transmission was out which would save some labor there should have been a couple of hours to do this procedure. Not sure if this story is fact or fiction.

He got ripped, no question.

EDIT for clarification: I already paid for parts & labor to do the rear main seal. While he was in there, he said he could do the IMS for just the cost of the part.

Fascinating thread here. My condolences to the OP, at least your damage is small and your car is well.
Many thanks to Semicycler for post #29. I made a copy and have saved that brilliant description of the whole IMS saga. Now when I'm shopping for a car I can do it with confidence if I know the engine serial number.

Did the price go up on the IMS ceramic bearing from LN Engineering? Because in 2012 when I did mine for a 2005 997S - it was in the 600 dollar range....

OP did you say how much you paid total? I ask because I had an LN Engineering recommended installer at Daytona Beach do my clutch and IMS on a 2005 997S launch edition for $1,700
