Most shops around here overcharge to begin with; or technically they just go by the "book". I installed Vorshlag camber plates any shop wanted 3hrs of labor.. I did it on my own in 1.5hrs. So I'm sure any experienced shop, with help would've been allot faster.

This is why I as, just to know what to expect and have some bargaining leverage. Realistically; how long should it take someone with all the tools?

Thanks for the feedback by the way.
