Clutch Install

Ok, a local shop around here quoted me 8.5 hrs at $75/hr for an Exedy Hyper Single clutch install. So around $640... Is this normal, good, or a bad price for this install? He said his shop has never installed a clutch on A COBALT so thats why he said it was 8.5 hours... Should I go somewhere else or stick w/ these guys? thanks for the advice in advance guys

i work at a tranny shop. book time is 8.1 hours, they are charging a little more as a "just in case" thing. their labour rate seems about right (shop rate at my shop is $89.50, however we are actualy a cheap shop as most in the area are over $95/hr).
