Default Yes, I think it is very good for labor. Parts should be about $250...
make sure the other belts are changed as well. Also have them do the Tstat while they are doing the belt with all the coolant drained.

Default I paid about $375 here in the Bay Area which I thought was fair
considering the labor rate is $80 an hour.
