Is this the going rate these days?

I tried to install coilovers myself and couldn't work through the rusty components since I bought a 10-year-old used Alberta car so I ended up going to one of the forum sponsors for it last month. I was quoted 5 hours for installation × $140/hr plus additional for alignment over the phone.
They ended up taking 6 hours for the install and 2.5 hours for the alignment.
8.5 hours × $140. Since it's a brand new BRZ, it should be easy for DIY though.
I felt like it was worth it despite the high labour cost because my shocks were very aged and there was no way I could have worked past the rustiness in a reasonable amount of time. The ride now is definitely a lot better over bumps.
