it looks like he is charging $128 per Hr. Is this high? who knows what it costs him to run a business.
you could do the job your self its not hard just messy with a few tools. eg axle stands, trolley jack, torque wrench, bearing press, hand tools etc. or you could purchase your own parts cheaper and supply them to a mechanic to fit. just remember you would be suppling the warranty for the parts not the mechanic and if there is a failure you would wear the cost of replacement not the mechanic.
that said its good to do your own maintenance so that when you have a failure in the bush you know how to fix it.
