Maintenance/Repairs

Vehicle needs a power steering reservoir, an alternator and a cable for the hood release. Estimate is $1650, however thought I had received an estimate two months ago closer to the $1,000 - $1200 range. Car is dead in the driveway, either needs to be towed - maybe jumped - to get to station. I was told that the Power steering reservoir leak killed the alternator.

What is a fair price to pay for the work?
Is it worth putting the $ into the car… light use, spare car.
