Don't you think the dealer overcharge sometimes?

I knew that those dealers might deliver a reliable work, and the cost for customers just ultra high, since they have these mechanic got paid like $100 per hour, and they have heavy investment on those equipment they have. For me, average salary earners can't afford to visit them every time though. Today, I have to fix my car again, and because of the "check engine" was on, and the water pump was making noise, and it was wobbling. I just have make replacement of everything, intake gasket and the water pump. From the dealer, the estimate price for me is around over $800; I have this friend of mine, who only charge me $400 with parts and labor. So, I am not entirely happy with it, I just have to do it. Extra $400 slip out of wallet.
