If I were venturing a guess, I would say the labor guide lists the front brakes at 1 hr for pads, add 0.2 for each rotor R&R. Rear shoes are probably listed at 1.8 or so.

If I were quoting the job at home, I would tell them $75 total labor and they get the parts. If they brought it to my shop, it would be at least a $400 quote so they are getting a killer deal and you're getting $20/hr.
