Was this price quoted for you taking your bike there, and taking it with a freshly cut steerer? If so, fork in hand, cleaned (!) & clearly marked at desired cut should yield cheaper results.
#storytime neverforget the time I asked a shop to whack on a bearing race on a fork (with the 2 items in hand, ready to be installed), asked me to come back in 30mins and wanted to charge me £28, because thats what they bill for "headset replacement" eg: you go there with a bike they take out your old headset, they replace it with a new one, and adjust it.
