Price for changing a lower radiator hose on 98 GMC Sonoma?

I bought the hose and paid 40 dollars labor to have someone change it out, is this a typical price?

|||It depends on who changed it for you. Most shop labor rate vary from $55 to $85 dollars per hour. To drain the cooling system, replace the hose and refill and test the system... yes, $40 dollars would be fair.|||That%26#039;s a good price, I know of places that charge 70 dollars a hour minimum for just labor. So even if you had to replace anti-freeze and all that on your own, you made out ok.|||I say that is really expensive to pay for something that take two minutes to do. Its to clamps remove the hose and replace it with the clamps|||the sonoma is not a truck I like to work on 40 bones is cheap you have a good deal.|||i would say that%26#039;s a great price,considering shop labor rates are more than that per hour|||that sounds a fair price.|||I don%26#039;t know|||sounds about right...thats an easy job u could of had a mechanicaly inclined friend to do it 4 free
