Was going to reply but I guess bogeyman replied for me. (Thanks.)

Basically I doubt very much if the taxi owner will not perceive a quote from my regular shop to be undervalued in the same way I will naturally be inclined to regard a quote from his repair shop to be inflated. It is just human nature.

On the other hand, the tsikot community has shown time and again to be fair when it comes to issues like this. There have even been instances in which the community censured a member when it believed the member has committed an offense. So, I am quite confident I should be able to get a fair value from the exchanges here.

I intend to refer the other party to this forum and to see for himself. I believe he will see the fairness in all this. Kind of like arbitration court except less informal and a lot more cost-effective.
