Going back to the chap you've been talking with may not be the best. Given what he's proposing to charge for labor (ouch), it sounds like he's taken you for a mark and has turned on his wallet-vac.
If you don't want to do the work yourself, check out other shops. You ought to be able to do far better than this fellow.
However, doing the work yourself makes lots of sense. The e-brake problem may be fixed by just cleaning/lubricating the mechanism at the caliper and in the console. If you have to replace the calipers, it's just unbolting/rebolting, nothing difficult. Tie rod ends and the rack boot you can replace yourself without difficulty, etc. You'll need tools, but they pay for themselves in short order.
