Mine was just $375 for cleaning only last week! Ive noticed they also always charge 3 units of scaling (31-45 mins) regardless of how much time it actually takes. No idea what standard practice is in this area.
Bit of a joke to be honest. I think its a game of chicken for them. See how high they can charge and still get away with it, since they know most poeple in Calgary have good insurance.
