You got ripped off. I had mine done for about $400.

Everything is like that. Some mechanics charge more. Usually outside a city the rents are lower. Out in the country a mechanic might work out of his garage for a third or even a quarter the price. You may get better service for more, but there's no guarantee at all. Obviouly sometimes paying more gets you more, but sometimes it gets you less, even much less. I had a minor repair at a dealership and they cracked my windshield. Wouldn't do anything about it. I save enough with a local mechanic to let something like that go and he's honest. That happens a lot, the honesty.

Because it's complicated (Atleast, in theory ;)) the equipment to do it properly is expensive, and because the data is valuable to people.

because they saw it as a great chance to rip off someone that does not know anything about computers.

because you don't know how to do it. If everyone could do it it would be cheaper.
