Make sure it has timing chain or belt! If it has chain most likely mechanic will change water pump only.
That price is dealer price and regular mechanic will be charging about 300-350.
You are not driving BMW or Mercedes , shop Latino garage , parts may cost you 60-70 at Amazon, couple years ago I paid labor 250 for 2 cars. He may do it for 150-250 for labor.
Fact is the timing belt may be good , but the water pump starts getting water residue and it clogs and will snap the timing belt. I follow this advise, every 2-3 years flush radiator fluid. In summer I run car on distilled water , add small amount of radiator flushing additives. And bring it to mechanic to add new fluid.
