Rear brakes Audi 80

Hi! I am trying to find out how long it takes to change both the rear brake shoes plus bleeding etc on an Audi 80 1.8s 1986?
Thanks for any help!

About an hour if you're clued up, have the right tools and nothing is seized up.

I think I'm being ripped off! I have had the rear breaks checked and serviced one side had a new wheel cylinder and the front a new break hose on one side, also a water leak fixed I think gasket on the therm joint and I think the rubber under the carb joint to manifold. They charged 6.5 hours labour! Also I had new engine oil + filter + gearbox oil but they said that cost includes labour so total £380 !

Seems about right. Amount of hours.

Seems a bit steep to me... about 4 hours max would seem more accurate, but it's easy saying that whilst tapping a way on the PC... I would ask for a break down of how they've come to 6.5 hours labour tbh.
