If you order from autohaus, you would pay:
Radiator Hose; Lower $13.28
Radiator Hose; Upper $8.32
Serpentine Belt/Ribbed Drive Belt $23.15
Cylinder Head Gasket Set $63.76
He is charging list price and making a profit. A lot of shops charge above what they pay as a second profit center, so I am not saying they are doing something underhanded.
It will take him 5 minutes to change the belt (if he isn't already taking the belt off for the gasket change anyway?), so that is a nice profit! If I were you, I would use the money toward a socket wrench set plus some female torx sockets and do it yourself. You will pay less and also have a set of tools for other repairs.
