A radiologist friend had someone watch him check the(many many ) bones of a hand and asked how he could justify hundreds$$ for 5 minutes, and my friend replied its not how long it takes me to do it, it's how long it would take you to do it.
They charge by the book, much higher than actual time of a good, fast mechanic. In this case the shop used the "replace it and see if that's the problem" method and they should have been able to diagnose the master cylinder accurately up front, although having good pressure for that might have sent to slave over the edge. As most of you know the slave is inside the clutch housing and replacing it is nearly all the work of a full clutch job--I've been charged 10-12 hours for that and i think it is the norm for pulling the engine, breaking apart the clutch and tranny, putting it all back and then most important having it work.
