The engine covers almost always pull right off after removing the oil cap. You didn't say what the wire harness they replaced goes to, but the shop probably had to rule other things out to confirm a wiring problem exists first, then locate it. A wiring issue probably wasn't suspected at first because the vehicle is relatively new.
If the work really took 13 hours, they cut you a heck of a deal on labor if it only cost $450 for the whole job. That comes to about $33/hr for labor - dirt cheap by today's standards.
