Agree with all the other replies but even Autozone or Advanced Auto should be cheaper than that.

Buy here, break out the tools, and have a father son Saturday, while saving a few hundred bucks. Who knows, your son might learn something valuable from the process.

I bought an entire door from a wrecking yard for $400 for my 2012 Subaru Impreza. Hung it myself. Pretty easy swap.

Pull one from a junk yard or check ebay from China made ones. The OEM ones for my VR-4 are $300 but I got a China one for $45.

I hope that your shop is correct regarding their diagnosis that it is the motor and regulator.

I had a shop in years past where we did a lot of Volvos, Land Rovers, BMWs, etc. 95% of the windows not going down usually was the switch.

Those poor window switches get rain on them when the window/door is open, get coffee/drinks spilled on them.

Most of the time we didn't even have to replace the switch- we would take them apart, clean them (sometimes carbon buildup/crud on surfaces) and put them back together. Inside of most there basically is a cantilevered piece of metal that swings to touch each side, spring(s) and sometimes a metal "BB".
(Keep in mind if you take one of these switches apart that it is under compression and if you don't ease it apart/study it pieces can fly in all directions...)

Very easy to check if it's a switch- if you have no multimeter just switch plugs with another switch in driver's door or from other armrest.

Try Ebay

The Chinese window regulators are crap for most vehicles. I'd go with new OEM personally.

Since everyone else has the part covered, I'll just chime in and say $50 for labor is a hell of a good price. Just make sure he will install customer-supplied parts.

If the cable-style regulator shown is the correct one, these go bad all the time, mostly on the driver's because that is the one used most, and they will typically have the motor already on them. Now the question is do you need it in the first place. If the motor is running, sometimes accompanied by buzzing or clicking, and the window doesn't move, or tries to move a little bit, that pretty well nails it, the regulator has gone bad. If it does nothing, the motor can still be bad, but it also may not be getting power or ground.
