Default Is this a fair price for fixing a leak in the central air unit?

Hello,
I just had my central air unit recharged with refrigerant and a leak
was found in a very accessible area, on the discharge tube.
The repairman said he would fix the leak for $450.
He said it would take some time because the refrigerant had to be
pumped into the condenser before he could fix the leak and then the
system would have to be restarted.
Does $450 sound reasonable?
Thanks



I had the same kind of leak. He replaced the tube, both brass fittings at
the base of the unit, recharged it for $265.
