Actually he's right, it is more labor intensive to replace the bushings. When you replace the bushings you have to take the control arms out of the car, remove the bushings from the arms, install the new bushings and then reinstall the arms. New arms generally come with the bushings already installed.
The part I find strange is that you have a mechanic who wants to do less work, it's usually the other way around.
