Garage owner, Darren Tandy, was arrested after a customer disputed a £1127 bill reports The Sun.
Darren, of Mr Clutch in Gateshead, was arrested after police were called to settle the dispute after he refused to lower the fee for the work he had carried out on the customer's Land Rover.
The customer disputed the agreed price of £1127, and called the police when Tandy refused to accept £950 instead.
The customer then tried to push Tandy for a greater discount, suggesting a figure of just £550.
When Tandy claimed the parts cost more than that amount the police arrested him.
Tandy was taken to Gateshead police station where he was released three hours later without being charged.
He was arrested for Breach of the Peace, Tandy claiming he hadn't been very rude, nor sworn during the dispute.
Tandy has sent a letter of complaint to the police after the way it handled the matter, though the police claim that the officer had acted appropriately.
The customer finally paid £800 for the work two days after disputing the bill.
