Radiator hose replacement and thermastat question

Just got back from an oil change and noticed that there are 2 radiator hose that are showing cracks..the mechanic suggest that I should replace all 5 (is that the total?) and also replace the thermastat as well, given that the car has about 134k miles...What do you you guys think is a reasonable cost for this job and is the thermastat necessary for replacement right now? Thanks!

Price out the parts required and that's what the cost for parts should be, then go to Pelican Parts website under the technical section and see how it's done, estimate the hours @ $115 per hour of labor.

Not really a difficult job to do yourself, change the water pump as well while you are there.
