I just had swivel hub kits and new bearings installed in my GU and the place has charged me 8 hours labour, I was a bit shocked by the time they took, is this reasonable ???

That sounds fairly reasonable. My brother and I took the best part of a weekend (he's a mechanic).
If they were 4x4 specialists then maybe 6 or 7 hours, but 8 sounds about right
Hello from Under Down Under!
Yep sorry mate, every bit of that if he did the King Pin Bearings as well. Big Job.

cheap in my book, 8 hrs is more than fair

8hrs is average apparently but to be honest if they are qualified mechanics in a workshop with all tools handy, they should smash it out in 4-5. I reckon it took me and a mate 8-9hrs to do mine in the carport, including kingpin bearings.
