How much would replacing/fixing leaking wheel cylinders cost?

Hey there! My name is Melissa. I just got back my car from a shop today. I got my brake pads/rotors and air conditioning done. They saw while doing this, that my wheel cylinders for the rear brakes are leaking brake fluid. I didn't have them fix it that moment because I couldn't really afford it at this moment, but he said that it could be put off for a little bit, but not too long. I plan on getting it fixed this week, but was wondering if $550 dollars sounds like a decent price? That includes the labor and taxes and all of that. Or should I shop and call around and see how much it would cost with other shops?

Thank you! =)

Edit: I have a 1998 Chevy Lumina.

The wheel cylinders are 45 each, the labor is about 3.0 tops with bleeding, this assumes no rusted brake lines and reusing the old shoes, get an explanation of how that amount was reached.
