I agree that it is a reasonable charge for that Evap valve replacement, although the part itself was only $30. It’s really the labor that gets ya, but I get it...that’s the price for not doing it yourself. For example, the new battery was $160, but it came out to that plus the $155 (1 hour labor) that they charged me on top of the $160 for undoing the one bolt for the retainer clip, pulling the old battery out, popping the new one in, and retightening the bolt. But hey, I got a new Audi loaner for the 2 days they had my car and never needed to take any time off work to get my car fixed.
