Default Bank sensor cost

I had sensor bank 1 and bank 2 sensor 1 upsteam fuel sensor replaced today on my 99 Rx (117,000 mi). I was told the sensors were genuine Lexus parts. I was charged $350 for each sensor part. The labor was 2 hours at $99 for each hour. Total cost $898. I do live in south New Jersey near Philadelphia. Is that the cost of the sensors? Does it take one hour for each? The mechanic always does a good job. The RX failed emissions inspection and had P0125 and P1135 codes. Thank you for any comments.

Each Denso sensor is $117 on Amazon. Labor should have been 1 hr total to be honest.

Actual time, but it is an hour each for billable book time.

Where did you go in SJ? Cherry Hill Lexus?

I had the sensors replaced on the RX at my local repair shop in Cinnaminson, NJ. The RX was running fine. But it was inspection time and the RX failed for emissions. So it cost me $800 to have the RX running fine again as it was. Never easy.
Where do you take your Lexus for repairs? Where should I go? A Toyota dealer be less expensive than Cherry Hill Lexus?

Default Alarm sounds

Now when I unlock the door the alarm (horn) sounds until I start the Rx. Is that because the repair shop disconnected the fuse or battery? How do I stop that? Thank you for any help.
