$34.50 works out to probably 20-30 minutes of labour, depending on his shop rate. It's probably a minimum charge; most shops don't want to bill for 7 or 9 minutes of work. I totally disagree with the comment below about him making enough on the battery to install it for free. You can walk into Walmart and get a battery, and they're not going to install it for you. Meanwhile, he has to charge a competitive price for the battery for customers who just want to buy it outright. I don't think it's unreasonable to pay a small fee for someone providing service as opposed to just putting a product on a shelf that you pick up and take to a cash register, and $34.50 really isn't much.
The price of the wiper blades seems outrageous to me, but maybe that's the going rate for that model for all I know. I can't imagine spending more than $20 each on wiper blades.
