Takes less than an hour to remove a sealed hard drive from a damaged PC/laptop, connect it to an external enclosure and copy the contents off of it. Data xfer across USB is about 1gb/minute as a rule of thumb but you won't normally be charged for the copy time since it can be left unattended. If the drive is badly corrupt it just takes longer to copy the contents but no tech interaction is required.

Looks like the $85 estimate was for a standard one hour minimum of labor.
