Cost is too high...

I have all the parts necessary to perform this upgrade in my garage, PLUS three new large hoses and a new oil trap. Total cost for this bag of parts was only $106.60 and the PCV Upgrade Kit was only $33 of this total!
The Technical Service Bulletin from Saab identifies this job as requiring only 0.6 hours, less than $60 for labor. There is one additional hose/checkvalve combo that I had replaced last fall. It sells for $30.
Total cost for this job should range from <$100 (Upgrade Kit and labor) to ~$200 (Upgrade Kit, all 4 new hoses, and labor). Maybe they were quoting worst case and planning on charging you less, I hear this is happening more often now.
