Default Labor time to replace wiper motor

Hello, it's been a time since I've posted, but like many here, I just post when I have an issue, or a question.

I have a 2000 S40, and the wiper motor needs to be replaced. The Volvo dealer here stated 2.5 hours of shop time to replace this part. I see it just has four bolts on it, with the electrical hookup, and likely some clips under that to deal with the wipers themselves.

Does 2.5 hours of labor sound reasonable for this job? They stated $349 for a new motor, and that there were no after-market motors available.

i would consider it a do it your self job. it is not that hard of a job if you have a torx set, and a small ratchet set.

here is a wiper motor for $50 with a 6 month money back

i would go that route, $350 is alot of money to spend just to push water off the windshield.
