Seems like you should've confirmed actual labor time that was going to be charged first, not just the shop labor rate.
Most automotive jobs aren't charged by how long technicians actually take, instead they use a standardized labor time for certain jobs. This time may vary from shop to shop depending on what they feel comfortable charging you with. Also varies a lot from car to car depending on difficulty.
