Default (P1457) Estimate from mechanic. Fair?

My 2001 Honda Accord has an evap leak code. Mechanic says I need to change cannister and both valves. He said the parts will be 280 + 120 for 1.5 labor. Is that fair? Thanks

labor's about right if it includes diagnostic time.
If he gave you the part numbers, you can look up the parts yourself

Parts seem a little high, but depends on what the dealer is charging your tech. If he has to pay suggested list, that would explain it.
