They didn't charge me that much for the actual shims (though they said they had to order some that they didn't have in stock, so it took a couple days for them to get it back to me). My invoice says 4 shims at 8.79 apiece so that's about $35.
Also they cut me some slack on the labor price. I knew going in that they'd charge me 4 hours for the initial tear-down and clearance check, and maybe plus two if they had to actually adjust, but they only charged me plus one on that. It's still pretty darned expensive per hour of labor, but since it's all clearly posted I knew what I was getting into, so no complaints about the integrity of that shop!
I will consider taking a day to do it myself next time though!
