A good repair shop would read thru the bill with you, explain what each item was, and give you a chance to ask questions.... but maybe you were in a hurry?

new distributor cap, cleaned the spark plugs, and I'm not sure what else. The bill is all full of cryptic abbreviations!  It says:

Remove & Replace Distributor Cap REPAIR DIST. PLUG/INSTALL PLUGS/DIST. CAP AND ROTOR BUTTON CHAMPION, LICENSE PTK1022 DIST C&R KIT PTK1022 DIST C&R KIT 4922 BR6ES NGK PLG 4922 NGK PLG

I assume this telling me what kind of cap & rotor kit was used?  Who knows...
