I decided to call a technician that was recommended at work to clarify this question, he said the process would take 2 days. I don't understand why it takes so long, also for a lot of money? Maybe someone knows how long it takes to replace auto rear handles?

Perhaps this technician has too many auto repair orders. Why don't you replace the door handles yourself? When I bought them at T1A Auto https://www.t1aauto.com/collections/exterior-handles I was surprised to find a very clear instruction manual with illustrations describing every step, as well as a warranty. I had some questions, so I called customer service. They explained everything to me in detail. It's good that there are specialists there who, even though they were far away, were able to help me. In the end, I replaced all four door handles on my Opel in an hour.
