$433 to replace a water pump? I think I was ripped...(?)

$433. Yep. I was pretty much bent on this one because it blew-up on a major freeway and I had to get a tow. Water and coolant all over the drive pulley wouldn't allow the alt'ntr or the p.steering belts to grab. I had no alternator, no power steering, and the engine temp shot to the bad end of the gauge in about 3 min.
Can I presume I paid PREMIUM $$ for the part? How many shop hours should this take?
Thanks for any comments!
Barry
