Well $85/hour is standard for any mechanic anywhere, I think you would have had to pay that anywhere, unless you've got one of those kindly mechanics that have a soft spot for single women and will look at it for nothing and only charge you labor when they actually fix it. I used to have guys like that. You could drive into the station and run out of the car going "I hear a funny noise!!", and they'd tell you to sit down and they'd look at it within 15 minutes, no matter what they were doing, and let you know what was going on. *sigh*
I get my oil changed at a local quickie lube place, same price, but I don't really have to wait that long.
