[QUOTE="Crimson2v, post: 15044165, member: 85508"] If your brake line was rusted through, chances are the bleeder screws were frozen or rusted. The line probably had to be bent and flared unless it was a rubber line. Did you ask what the labor rate was? Most are over 100 bucks an hour. So if the guy gets .5 to diag then an hour or so for the line, another hour to bleed your close to 2.5 or 3 hours then factor in the parts fluids and shop supplies and tax. The shops charge flat rate which means if the mechanic knocks it out in 2 hours that's money he gained but say if one of those bleeder screws broke off or any other scenario that would affect the time of the job the mechanic eats it. You should have negotiated the final price if you were not happy with the amount. [/QUOTE]
