That is the cost of the fan motor and controller and is correct.

Beaware that if he has not done acouple before, he will want to discharge
and refill the a/c (the official method) but is it possible to do the job
without if you cut the fan shroud (to get the wires out) with a hacksaw
and
after "lace" it back together with small cable ties .

Unfortunately its the weakest part of the car and a £500 job to do.

Given you can get anything that size rewound for £100 one has to wonder
what actually dies.
