Default Is this a good price for replacing couplers?

I had both couplers replaced and my mechanic charged me $500.00. Did I get ripped off???

To pull and replace the engines. That doesn't sound bad at all.

Yeah , to all the above. I do most of my own work and I wouldn't want to do mine for $500 . Good price.
