Why do indies want so much $$ to R&R Lower Control Arm Bushings?

Is it me or is a $500-$750 just a bit high for lower control arm bushings?
From the searches I performed on the site it seems to be about a 2-3 hr. project, so why are these guys estimating 5-8 hrs of labor? And I got a quote for the rear (subframe) control arm bushings for 7-9 hr. of labor .Youve got to be kidding me!
If I dont get these bushings done my calipers and new rubber will be toast in 500 miles- the bushings are turning to dust.

Suggestions please!! I may end up renting a tool from someone online ShopForum person anyhow, but any advice is appreciated. I really would like to finish the suspension ASAP.
