They might treat everyone like crap! Just helped my (male) neighbor change the coil packs and plugs on his E60 (5-series BMW, 6 cylinder). He called me from the dealer asking what I thought of a $1400 quote. Didnt believe him. Thought he was confused about the scope of work. Nope. After pulling the codes and reading the estimate, sent him to buy OEM Coils and NGK plugs online for about $250 (total) and switched them all out in 30 minutes together, including beer time....

It makes me mad!

Good thing you were there to help him out and so he didn't spend that kind of money on that work at the dealer. Good friend.
