25-40 per side is reasonable. Thats what i charged when I had a machine shop biz.

They will have to:

-support knuckle, press out hub (sometimes hub can be driven out with brass drift)
-press off one race off hub, IF it sticks to the hub (90% chance it does)
-press out bearing
-press in new bearing, using cup to fit OD of bearing
-support BEARING by its ID, and press in hub

-this is the ONLY correct way to press a bearing assy.

Slows2k will confirm

That's it, except race will stick on the hub 100% of the time in my experience.

Min shop charge. It's not worth their time to do jobs at $20 each.

the race stayed with the hub on the 3 i've done.

and no, you're not getting it apart without a press
that does seem high for one knuckle though...

Is it possible to salvage a hub with a race stuck to it, and then just remanufacture it?

Yes. If one is careful enough, you can get the race off the hub without any damage to the actual hub.

Not worth the labor $ to reuse a old wheel bearing, Reusing hub is fine. gives you the opportunity to install longer wheel studs if you want.

I cut the race with a die grinder them split it with a chisel. Billman turns the hub on a drill press while heating it with a torch. Since I don't have a torch or drill press at the shop, chisel and die grinder gets used.
