I think he was the one pulling your leg. "Hop up mill"? Was this guy a time-traveler from the '50s? That's not even accurate use of hot-rod slang--he didn't hop up the mill, just tuned it. Unless he does such good work that you can overlook it, I'd say to find yourself a new mechanic. One that writes down exactly what he did on the invoice, if for no other reason that in future when the car exhibits the same symptoms you can refer back to it for clues or to rule out something that's already been fixed.
