Hi babny and welcome to the forum:!:
(sorry about the delay in reply)
Usually when this level of damage has occured to an A/C compressor your almost replacing the "entire" thing since metal fragments will likely have been circulated through the system. Check your estimate more closely. The expansion valve and receiver/ dryer will likely also need replacement along with flushing the lines, evaporator and condenser.
And since this is a "common" belt driven A/C system I don't see why a competent A/C specialty shop wouldn't be up to the task.
HTH!
