Default master clutch cylinder leak

My car would not go into gear took it to a local mechanic and showed me the leak behind my clutch pedal. Here are the prices he quoted me:
clutch master cylinder parts: $109.87
clutch master cylinder labor: $110.00 ( replace, includes bleed system)
clutch slave cylinder parts: $78.20
clutch slave cylinder labor: $88.00

Total: 402.53 w/ tax

What do you guys think about this pricing, I saw online that I could get the parts for slightly cheaper, but then I would have to pay for shipping and wait for the part opposed to my mechanic having it in stock.
Let me know what you guys think and if any of you had experience with this issue.

I got the part for 20% cheaper than yours, from Joe in Power Honda Costa Mesa.
labor is pretty much the same.
I change them for about ~$400 4months ago
But I am sure you can find some place do it cheaper.
If you are in socal, I suggest you to post it in socal forum.
there are many hook up there.

i got it from here

much cheaper than what they quoted.
when my slave cylinder went, i got my master replaced as well and parts were roughly about $150 shipped. my mechanic only charged me about 150 for the job.

i looked around and found hardtopguy to be the best deal (when shipping was included). i had mine within three days and it helps support an s2000 aficionado rather than a generic parts supplier. i highly recommend contacting htg about pricing.

also, check out the DIY. i did mine last year and the DIY guides were awesome. i'm sure if you couldn't figure it out any local member would be glad to give you a helping hand. i would if you were local to me!
