And considering that GKN Loebro boot kits can be had for $15 from Pelican parts that's all labor cost! Must be estimating "by the book" which probably has them removing the entire wheel carrier to get to the axle, you only need to disconnect the strut/caliper though.
You can definitely do it yourself, it's going to take you the better part of an afternoon though at least for the first side, with a rented tool or two and a lot of greasy mess. Pushing the axle inward and drawing it back into the hub are two of the hardest parts, dealing with unscrewing the axle nut, etc.
Good luck!
