I ran this through an estimating program I have for automotice service work. Making some blind assumptions regarding labor rates, and not knowing anything about mandatory fees in your area for waste materials and the like, the $475 is not unreasonable. Someone else may be able to beat it, but maybe not too.
Get a second estimate just to ease your own mind.
I have replaced the thermostat on my car twice and consider it to be a major PITA due to limited access. There is no way I could do the job for the standard hours in the estimating software, but I am pretty sure I can beat the hours for the temperature sensor. Overall I would still take longer than listed.
