Just had mine done

Had the R F boot replaced at the Dealer, total was 450. parts and Labor. 43k. The local shops here in Santa Fe pretty much work off the same hourly specs as the dealers and they use after market parts for a minor savings if you choose a quality part.
For my brake job, the 'Euro' shops quoted the same or actually higher! One guy even offered that instead of replacing the front rotors (obviously worn) to grind down the edge of the new pads so they would fit.
I have become very wary of the non dealer repair shops and decided (at least here in S FE) that the dealer is, so far, my best option.
IMHO, be careful who you choose for the work. Sometimes, you get what you pay for.
