Reasonable estimate for Axle boots? Sign In

I just had my Mercedes inspected...and was told that my Axle boots are broken. He gave me an estimate for the replacement/repairs including labor. I trust this guy...but just want to make sure this is a fair quote:

$530 total. Breakdown below:

Includes: Boot Kit (2)...82.14 = 164.28
Shop supplies: $20.00
Labor for Axle Shaft Assembly: Removal/Installation = $273.00
Labor for Axle shaft boot (remove & replace) $32.50
Labor for Axle shaft boot (remove & replace) $32.50

Considering you haven’t told us what year & model; I picked a 2000 E320 and the flat-rate labour guide pays 4.2 hours to remove and install the axle shafts and then .5 each for the boots. So yes; it sounds fair for this model. One other model showed approximately 1 hour less for the R&I.
