Dealers can charge one of two ways:
By the job - They charge the same for a relay regardless of how long it took them.
OR
By the hour - actual time is charged back to the customer.
Most dealers do it by the job so the actual length of time doesn't matter.
What you could have done is get a cost up front from them. Since they charge by the job they could have told you exactly what it would cost and you could have then decided.
