Camber adjustment (sounds like a rip off!)

So, long story, but I just had my steering rack replaced and the shop I didn't have what was needed to do an alignment. Notta problem, I planned to run it over to a tire shop I used in the past who was now under new management. They set out to do a 4 wheel alignment, but came back and said my rear camber was about 2.5 degrees off. Ok, still cool, just fix it and I'll be on my way. Well... tech says, after punching something on his computer, that it is a pretty complex procedure on an x5 and it will take about 2 or 2.5 hours, costing around 205 total. I didn't have too much of a problem with the cost or the time, but I just couldn't wait around as I had to get back to work, so they just did a front end alighnment on it. Now that I'm back to the computer, I did some searches on here and from the first couple of threads I read, it seems like adjusting the camber on the x5 shouldn't be much more complex than anything else (i.e. alighnment). One post even said it was a matter of minutes to adjust once you had on it on a lift. That brings me to my question. Is this place just going to rip me off? I mean, I sure feel like it is!
