If this is a drum brake, then this price matches exactly the
OEM one at www.hondaautomotiveparts.com, except with
shipping the online price would be a bit more. Evidently
disk brakes are used also on this model (or else I am
missing something).
So the dealer is being fair here.
DIY-ers should recognize that, IIRC, the parts departments
of dealerships will mark up prices above, say, the $96 for
the wheel bearing assy. above.
Always nice to have some real life price data for the
archives here. That helps people.

Sounds fair for a dealer.

An independent shop might do the labor for less, but not by
much.
I think you're getting a fair shake here, plus the expertise
of the dealership.

Even more important, noisy wheel bearings just about always seize at some
point. No fun to be beside the road with a car that won't even roll.
Congrats and thanks for the follow-up!
