Is this to much?

[steve 172]

Iv just had a few things done on my clio 172,it developed a misfire last weekend and the mot needed doing by end of month so thought i would get both things sorted.The misfire turned out to be a bit of oil had got into plug 4,so they just changed the plugs and cleaned out what ever oil was in there.Next the mot,i new the windscreen washers needed sorting as if you filled the bottle up,it would be all over floor.So that was 60 pounds for washer bottle and everything else passed.The grand total was 307 pounds.I have not paid yet.Any help would be appreciated?

When you put it as jenic has put it, it doesnt sound too bad I guess. But them jobs apart from the Mot obviously are pretty easy, should of had a go yourself!
