protege water pump

[soumitra]

hi guys.
hope someone has had a similar experience.
my protege needed a replacement water pump, ac belt, timing belt and alt belt all together.

How many hours should this job take. this auto shop is charging $424 just for labor. he said it would take over 6 hours to do this.

Are the hours justified?

thanks

i just took my 93 protege into a shop today for water pump, timing belt, and seals(i think)...the guy is going to charge me $300. and is going to do it in one day, i didn't ask how many hours, tho
