Default Is $90 too much to pay for a diff fluid change?

A local race shop quoted me $90 to swap out my diff fluid. Quote is all labor and doesn't include the fluid. Is this too much to pay?

Shouldn't cost more than $40.00 and that includes the fluid also.

If you make $500 an hour than $90 is not to bad.

If you're like me I think $7.50 for the Mobil 1 is to much. Do it yourself. Might be a good time to invest in the right tools for the job. Since I did not have one of those manual fluid pumps I ended filling my dif with a syringe.

That is WAAAAY to much. It is a really simple task. My fill bolt was a bit difficult to get off, but after that it was a breeze.
