Good news: extended warranty 7yr/100,000 miles.

That's unbelievable. Assume that the install price includes $1,000 worth of incidentals (gaskets, hoses, etc.). That leaves $9,000 for labor. There are a couple of ways to put that figure in perspective.
You either have a mechanic at $100 per hour working about 2-1/2 weeks solid.
Or you have a mechanic who takes 2 days to do the install billing at about $560 per hour.
What am I missing?
