You can replace your crankshaft sensor by following these directions in less than half an hour. CLICK
The sensor costs $45.50 it is a Bosch part and the best make to get.

The Bosch camshaft sensor costs about $70 and takes about as long to install.

You can be sure that your problem was related to only one part, probably the crankshaft sensor. They decided to rob you and changed both. The camshaft sensors do not fail very often or at the same time and they can last for a very long time. They can see on the computer which one has failed and only change that one.
So yeah, you were robbed by about $300 to $400. OUCH!
