I agree, $165 would be a good price for a complete half shaft installed. But I'm guessing for that price, they are probably going to replace the boot only and maybe even use a split boot so they do not have to remove the shaft at all.
Find out what they are going to do for $165 before you let them touch it. They should at the very least, remove the shaft, clean the joint, repack with grease before installing the boot. Or just install a reman half shaft.
