A fill valve is a common replacement part. even new toilets have them. Snaking a drain is also something he would have to do even with a new toilet.

But, maybe he is thinking he is coming by a little too often. r he will make a little extra money selling a new install.

Ohhh, shiny!

lol. yeah, I get it.
