THat is a lot of money. WHen that many things get replaced, I really have to question if everything was replaced. As far as the adjustment, yes they are adjustable. As far as the cost, as I mentioned, that is a lot of money and due to your frustration, I would say no.

Since the work is already done, there isn't much you can do. In the future, if someone comes up with that many thing that need done, get a second opinion. I hate to see good people get taken.
