Question BIG bill from the Garage!!!!!!

Just got my car back from the garage.
Had the following done:

Airflow Meter = £85
Oxygen Sensor = £56
Synthetic Gear Oil = £32
2x Gear Bearings = £39

Labour=£200

Total bill inc. VAT = £473.80

Prices are in Cyp£ wich is Cyp81c - UK£1
So its prob about UK£550

Does this seem expensive for the work carried out?
