Bearing Replacement Labor Cost

[sparty99]

I have a '12 ASR-C.  LBS initially quoted $20 for labor to replace rear suspension bearings.  Then, upon dropping off the bike, the quote jumped to $140.  The shop shall remain nameless, but is it me or is this ridiculously high for this labor?  The mechanic that took the bike said that $20 doesn't cover it, b/c the task is labor intensive.  I'm just not seeing it though.

Would take me 2 hours to do and I'm not a mechanic.

Too bad they upped the quote! That's a bit mean.
