I'm a contractor and I'm not cheap but that quote is an overcharge if it's a simple replacement.
That is such a simple job that anyone with even basic knowledge could do it themselves in 30 minutes or less. An electrician will do it in 10-15 minutes.

A simple replacement is very rarely a simple replacement. What if the diameter of the old fans exhaust port is from the 1970s and some oddball size no longer in use?
Now you're replacing the fan, undoing the wiring, climbing through the ceiling, running and strapping a new exhaust line as well as installing the proper sized vent on the exterior of the house.
I've had this exact same scenario before.
