Default shop time for compression test 3.2 Carrera

what should the shop time be to do a leakdown and compression test on a 88 3.2 Carrera. Shop is saying 5 hours to do PPI and compression test. My guess is standard ppi is 1.5 hours from this shop (based on their price).
Please share your experience.

It's 2-3 hours. I had a leak down down with a plug change on my RS and I think it was 4. It's a little more work to get access to the crank and pull the coils.
When I did the PPI on my 89 which included a full visual, function, drive, and leak down it was about $500. They did a great job 10 page report and 100 pictures.

A leak down test if going to be more accurate than a compression test.
