Take some **** lube with you because that sounds like you are about to get butt raped. I would charge almost 3 times that to do it in my garage much without the overhead of a shop and labor costs; and I'm not a pro. That is "too much sugar for a dime". Either they don't have a clue what the job entails, or they work waaay to cheap, either of which are situations you should avoid. I forsee broken O2 sensors that you will have to replace aout of your own pocket in your future if you take your car there.

2 to 3 hours labor charge is what you shold pay. I apid $240 or so at my Infiniti dealership.

$90 per hour from a reputable performance shop. quoted 2 hours, actual install time and price charged was for 1.5 hours.

this is for HFCs btw but should be the same.

Nobody is doing that job for $60 to $65 dollars. Do you mean per hour of labor, or total? Are you getting quotes from homeless alcoholic people who need beer money?

And yes, the O2 sensors are easy to break, dealerships with Infiniti certified technicians break them quite often. Shade tree mechanics do it even more often. They are expensive so good luck getting a $60 installer to pay to replace a $450 part he breaks.
