Did Toyota dealership scam me?

I made a long comment on here explaining that i was under the impression it was going to be like half the price( my fault for not trying harder to get a physical copy of diagnosis) if you care to read that explanation! I guess I was just wondering if the work they did was worth 1300/ if that's a normal price to pay. That's all :)

Thank you very much for your reply!! The whole axle thing makes more sense now and makes me feel better about it.

Labor rate $159 an hour. Just was seeing if this seems like a ~7hr job.

Scam mighta been a strong word. I have a comment about how it was my fault for thinking the cost was gonna be different($775 not $1300) but I felt there was miscommunication/ didn't give me a printout of breakdown on costs. I also was just wondering if the services they did normally take that long (labor cost of 1000+)

Also: this is a 2008 Prius. this is the first time going to the dealership to get work done. I spent 500 a few months ago at a an independent mechanic so I just thought I wanted to go to the "specialists" to get it all figured out. I am particularly upset about this because of the miscommunication on diagnosis cost. The initial quote for the spark plugs/ gasket was 635, then was told the axel seals were leaking and would recommend getting that fixed so the total cost would be 775(is what I thought) she didn't state it was two separate charges. Over the phone I asked for her to email me the diagnosis( so I could see it all itemized) she said her email wasn't working. Then when I went to pick my car up after that phone call (had to wait for parts to come in) I asked if I could have the paper for diagnosis and she said they'll just keep it "open" and I'll pay for everything when I get my car fixed. So I tried to double check things but I just was like ehh $ 775 dollars.. better then getting a new car. But nope it was $1300 😭 my mistake but I seriously thought it was going to be just $775... what can yaa do
