Sorry to hear that. Its ridiculous what some shops charge for labor. My guess is that over half your bill was labor and any mechanic worth a shit could have done the entire job in less than 2 hours. I'm glad I can fix my own stuff. I just lost an ABS sensor to my tire chains and spent about $20 and a half hour fixing it.
Just a tip of advise to anyone taking their car in to be fixed by a shop. Ask to see the parts and have them show you how and why it failed. Parts don't just break, they break for a reason. If your mechanic doesn't fix the reason, you will be back.
