Is $150 to cut into cabinets and install a dishwasher a fair price?

Project Details

I'm planning to get a dishwasher installed in my house, as we currently don't have one. I've received one quote from a licensed and bonded handyman (up to $1K in liability coverage) for $150, and I feel like this might be a low quote. I plan to get an 18-inch dishwasher and then either get a trim piece or have a cabinet trimmed for a pullout drawer to cover the remaining gap. There's an outlet under the sink where the garbage disposal is connected. I also spoke with a general contractor who quoted $150 for installation if I handle cabinet removal, and he is bonded up to $25,000.
