$63.00 an hour for labor is not an unreasonable amount, at all. As a matter of fact you're getting off cheap. To give you an idea of where I'm coming from, I work for a commercial cabinet shop in Southern Oregon. The majority of our work is in Northern California, specifically the Bay area. The labor rate for our installation subcontractors is $79.00/man/hour, this covers tools. Go ask the shop that repaired your car what their labor rate is, I'd bet it's in the $65.00 to $80.00/hour range.
