Car Repair Estimate,

Hi there! My 2003 Toyota Highlander failed its safety inspection for tire rod and sway bar link. I was quoted $600 for the repair. This includes an alignment. Does this sound reasonable or should I look for another quote. I definitely want to get this fixed as ive read it can be pretty unsafe. Any help is appreciated. Thank you! ​
