[Diesel-RVs] C7 over heating. Now it's me that is hot!

Well we left Waveland on our way to Topsail Sunday morning, got to
Mobile on rt 10 and the rig started to overheat. Got off the hiway and
called coachnet they dispatched a tow and contacted Empire Truck sale
for repair. Found out we couldn't stay with the coach. Did a search of
local CG found one less that 1/4 mile away. Let it cool down and made
it no problem. Monday AM we started to the shop got halfway and
overheated again. Called Coachnet again they dispatched and said it
would be 1-1 1/2 hours. 2 hours later no tow, called them back they
said the was a fatal accident and the wrecker was sidetracked. After
another 30 minutes I decided it had cooled to 130 so I made it to the
shop. I had emptied the closet and moved the bed prior to arrival.
They pulled up the floor boards and did a check apparently the
waterpump drive belt had broken and the other was frayed. They had to
order the waterpump belt wouldn't be in until Tuesday AM, Now we had
to find a hotel that would take Zeus and the new kitty, not easy. This
morning after a sleepless night in a Redroof Inn I called the shop at
9:30, was told come on over the the coach is ready. Get there and it's
outside idling. Went in and got the bill, 6 hours labor $584, total
$778 with parts and tax. I asked to explain and was told they were
giving me a $10 hour discount. I know he only spent 2 hours on Monday
and he said the part was being delivered at 8 AM Tuesday so give him 2
hours. Paid with credit card. the question is is that a reasonable cost?
