Oil Pan Gasket with cradle Removed

2002 Monte Carlo SS. The cradle is dropped to replace the transmission at the dealer. How long/ how many hours should it take them to do the oil pan gasket with the cradle removed and the transmission removed?

Thanks,

Bill

I would think with the cradle and trans out of the way, an oil pan gasket should not take long at all.
Also, if the cradle is off, consider changing the lower engine and trans mounts.

I am considering as you suggest. It is a 2002 and is 13 years old but only has 50k miles.

Thank you for the response.
