Actually... from that article you posted:

State law requires that upon request by any person authorizing repairs to a motor vehicle, such person shall be given a written estimate of total charges for labor and parts and accessories, and that no charge may be made exceeding the estimated amount by 20% or $40.00, whichever is less, without the consent of the person authorizing the repairs.

So in my case, they're not allowed to exceed $40!! I'd say $700 is somewhat more than $40.
