If a customer supplied a part, I will then quote for fitment and charge accordingly to what I know from past experience.

The only way a customer may go over budget is if they add or expand on that job. Either way it should not be a surprise at the end.

Total cost, customer expectations and payment plans should be settled at the time of deposit and increases should be discussed at the times they are necessary.
