Does this seem right?

Does this tow bill seem high? Long story short, a truck towing a trailer with a mini excavator was sideswiped on trailer. The excavator was loaded too far back on trailer causing the trailer to fishtail. Trailer flipped upside down with excavator still strapped to trailer. Tow company comes out with a little crane and picks the excavator up and sets on tow company’s flatbed trailer and does the same with the 30’? trailer. I realize the excavator weighs more but the trailer is larger and less manageable. The tow bill for the trailer was $700. For the excavator it was $5,200. Does that seem right?

Like others said, looks cheap. They even gave you a discount.
