Multiply the time by the "hourly labor rate" of the shop you are using
to get the total cost. Hourly labor rate might be around $75 per hour.
Then after all this you have to go get the front end aligned.

Bingo.

Just call around for estimates in your area to see if those estimates are in line, don't forget to ask what they charge for flat rate.
