Some of it seems cheap, other bits expensive.

 

I had a quote for a basic single install on a UK auto around 5 years ago, the labour was just under £3K plus vat IIRC, so your overall quote seems good TBH.

 

Any idea how many hours labour they're charging you for?

The shop took 8 months to get to finish the project and I had to kick some major but all along the way, though it wasn't very effective hence the time taken to complete the car.
