oil pan gasket, front main seal estimate?

[8879ford]

Dropped my 88 bronco II 4x4, 5-speed, 2.9 V-6 off at the shop due to an oil leak. I purchased a new oil pan gasket, and a timing gasket set including the front crankshaft seal, timing cover seal and water pump seal. With that being said, the garage charges $75 an hour for labor. They said I am looking at about $525 just for labor, for them to do the front main seal and oil pan gasket. Does that sound right? I thought it sounds a little high. Any advise or opinions would be greatly appritiated because I'm picking up the truck from the shop at noon on tuesday. Thanks.

So 7 hours labor? Seems fine to me.

You do realize they have to pull the engine out to reseal the pan right?

that

if i had the dough, i'd rather pay someone else to do it instead of having to spend a saturday renting an engine hoist, disconnecting everything, lifting the engine up and working on it while it precariously hangs over my head.

Yeah, just picked it up. The garage wanted me to see the website/app. that they use to create estimates and things, and it was about right. thanks
