Cost to replace kitchen faucet?

[Josh V.]

One of my rental properties in Kansas City is managed by a property manager.  My recent monthly owner statement included a $443 charge for replacing a kitchen faucet.  Seemed excessive to me so I got a breakdown of the cost.  

$105 to repair/replace

$85 minimum charge for first 30 minutes of labor

$10 fuel surcharge

$243 new faucet, supply lines, plumbers grease

$443 Total

Would like to hear others thoughts on the cost of this.  Do you feel this is high or inline with what you have experienced?

@Josh V. that is an outlandish amount of money. You got ripped off brother. So many things wrong here. Faucets are not that expensive. There is a cost to go buy a faucet but 15% is the normal mark up. Labor is labor, the cost doesn't increase. Next, what idiot is taking more than 30 to 60 minutes to replace it? Even a complicated one that is weighted and has a single manifold doesn't take that long. I typically pay my contractors $50 to install a sink faucet.  Fuel charge is BS, that is built into the labor and the upcharge on the faucet.  A good master plumber charges $100 an hour, I highly doubt they called a master plumber in.  PM me if you need help man, I am here local in KC and hate seeing people get ripped off.
