i always find it amusing when people want to defend businesses high prices on forums. Makes me think thy are business owners themselves or they have endless funds. Unfortunately businesses anymore charge what people are willing to pay, not whats really fair all the way around. I have had my own company (small) and I see some will mark up the product 500% and get away with it. It's not right but nothing anyone can do about it but pay and make your voice heard, or shop elsewhere. There are plenty of companies out there that would be glad to have your business. I still think the mentality out there is if you have money to buy a motorhome, then you must be rich and have money to pay inflated prices. I like to enjoy the things that we have worked hard for and do not like to be taken advantage of at the garage "IF" I need to go, usually I fix myself
I don't think anybody is defending the costs per se. It's nice to see that labor costs explained. Nobody wants to over-pay.
The price the OP paid does seem rather high. But, I can tell you, having the job done right the first time is worth every penny. The OP was given prices of certain procedures and he gave the choices of what he wanted. The quality of the work is so important, the price is really secondary but still important.

On edit: Doug's post above was not there when I posted mine. Looks like I almost repeated what he said although he was more thorough.
