That’s actually not a bad cost
Most repair shops won’t allow you to bring your own parts

The correct price is closed to $239. For $430 they charge for labor + parts+ markup on parts.
As for the $140, I'd be worried.

Original manufacturer parts can be exorbitant.Sometimes aftermarket parts are made by the same supplier as the original parts.
After the job is done ask for the old parts back and also ask what brand parts are to be fitted,how much do they cost?What is the hourly labour rate?They may charge for longer than the job will take.Dashcams have caught out a few auto shops too.
