Yeah, that kind of turn around kind of makes you wonder, though shops charge the rate that the book tells them, based on an average time to do the job. The book says 1 1/2 hours, so that is the charge, even though they may have had two guys working it, one on the fluid changes, while the other removes the plastics and accesses the valves. If they've done a few of these, it may only have taken them 45 min or so to complete, and just a few minutes to get it buttoned back up while they called you. Anyhow, if it's up and running well, you've done all that you can do. Ride, enjoy, read through the manual. Prep for the next do-it-yourself service.. Then you will KNOW that it was done right..
