$60 (US) per hour is fairly cheap!

Most dealerships are $70-85
Most chains are $65-75
Most small shops/back yard mechs are $40-60

I did mine in under 4 hrs (air tools and gear wrenches), but would not quote that time to a customer...

The job is a moderate PITA & I ran into zero complications. (stuck bolts/studs/nuts/alternator/etc)

I would say 5-6hrs and ~$300+ in labor. Anyone under that price point is a really good deal...
