Have you done this before? If so, how long did it take? Charge accordingly. If not, and you can honestly say you can do the job, call the dealer and ask what they charge or check out the labor table books. Plenty out there.

$70 per hour at our local HD. But they seem to have set labor TIMES for various kinds of service.
