$3000 for work at dealership???

I took my 06 RXT in because of water in the engine. Dropped it off on a Saturday and they said that they would get to it right away because they didnt want the water sitting in the engine. They call today(Monday) and say that they are going to be getting the water out of the eingine today. So 1st question should it have sat that long with water in the engine? They also say that the supercharger needs replaced and he said something about the fuse box which i am assuming he meant the mpem. So he tells me over the phone it is going to cost $3000 to fix. Of course i ask if anything is under warranty being it is only 2 years old. Then he tells me he will check the warranty without even checking it first before he quotes me a price. I tell them get the water out of the engine and that is it and i will pick it up. So the question is obviously i think i am getting ripped off what do you think? And what should i look to pay to have these things replaced? As well as just the cost for the parts and i can replace them myself when i come back to the states in September? Thanks in advance for any answers!

It seems ot me that a lot of shops are crooked. My buddy brought his 95 Yamaha to the shop because he thought it was seized. They told him it ran out of oil and was gonna be $4000 to fix. He told me I could just have it, so I took it home and started farting around with it.

I pulled the grate off of the impeller and pulled out a softball size chunk of visquine and now it runs fine. He didn't even want the ski back!! Worked out good for me but I don't trust shops further than I can spit.

Oh yea, I got no answer for you about the price, but I bet they're crooked too.
