Evaluate my service deal/labor costs
I recently developed a huge leak in my front crack shaft seal. It basically dumped oil out. I was trying to get the car up to Dallas to get Spdrcr to help me with the repair but I needed it fixed asap. I found a shop in Houston, C&C's Northside Motors who also owns Track Time Performance. They seem to be huge in the high end racing scene along with S2k's etc. Former Lexus techs to boot.
they quoted me 6.5 hours of labor for a complete timing belt water pump service, camshaft seals, crank seal etc along with a Trans flush, differential flush, brake flush, and coolant flush. Parts are listed below and are from autohausaz.com All OEM/OES. My total out the door will be $1127
What do you guys think? Good deal, ok deal, bad deal? I tend to lean towards great deal but that is just me....I would have done the service myself but I don't have time nor the proper tools...

I just had an almost identical service done on my 400 due to a piece of weather stripping on timing cover playing hide and seek and causing my timing belt to jump. I paid $1450 all said and done (could have found a cheaper place but I know the quality of work they do) so yeah I would say you got a good deal.
