Some main dealer labour prices are £80 & above plus VAT & have been for some years.

£50 per hour including VAT is about right now for a lot of places (as said, main dealers are more)

I've been in the motor trade now for 40yrs & have had many arguments with dealerships over work charged for but not carried out & parts fitted that were not required.

I've always said that main dealers are the biggest crooks out there & that has never changed & probably never will.

With reference to the dealership in the original post, I would still persue it even though you have had a refund..............what about the next person who gets ripped off there ?
