$50 to $75 is fair. It's a 20 min job .. For ME and I'm an amateue dilletant
Drill is : Jack up the car at the appropriate wheel, remove wheel, remove steering ball joint. Turn wheel so CV boot/joint is easy to get at. Retract torn boot. Wipe out enough of the grease goo to access the "circlip". Release it with needle nose pliers. CV joint then opens up as 2 parts. Remove old CV rubber, clean CV joint carefully. Refit New rubber boot. Refill with CV grease, "snap" CV joint back together. Clamp boot. Reattach tie rod. Lower the car.
This takes about 3/4 to 1 hour if the first time, 20 mins/half hour subsequently.
Clearly your "mechanic" has never worked on a Saab.. in which the CV separation is Unique
