I would bill for whatever was quoted and signed into contract. No more, no less.

That is up for you to do, in automotive repair, there is no certainty that it'll take under, equal to, or over the book rate.
The book rate is just an "idea" of how long it could take. Some mechanics are very fast, some take twice as long. I only adjust the book hour so that I know the job gets done right, and not cut corners due to speed.
I also don't adjust the book on a per customer basis. It is done when the software is setup, and never touched again after that.
