I think the mechanic who does mine takes about 3 but its all relative. Mechanics can run into problems on older cars with rust and bolts shearing and a job that should have taken an hour may take 3. As long as the job is done properly by a competent mechanic then it shouldn't matter and I dont mind paying above the odds for this. I am often amused to hear people saying how long it should take to do a job that they are clueless about themselves.
