Paid $180 for a swamp cooler tune-up, should have just watched a video

Our swamp cooler was rattling something fierce last May, so I called a local outfit off Nextdoor and they charged $180 to replace the belt and bearings. It worked fine for about two weeks, then the motor seized up on a 98 degree Saturday. I bought a $45 motor from Grainger on San Mateo, watched a 12 minute YouTube video, and had it running by dinner. Anyone else in Albuquerque getting hosed on basic cooler maintenance when the parts are cheap and the work is simple?
