Depends. If it includes everything including dealing with the head if its warped then its not bad. I suspect its a price just to change the gasket & when they get the head off you may well get a call telling you it needs to be skimmed or exchanged - at extra cost of course! Suggest you ask what happens in that eventuality & get some kind of commitment re possible extra costs. Also a good idea to do an oil and filter change at the same time so find out if that's built into the price.
My brother got quoted over £700 (by vauxhall) to do a 10 yr old 1.6 Astra last year. We DIY'd it in the end & the cost of the Gasket set + new head bolts & other bits & pieces (oil, filter, Antifreeze & a couple of tools we needed ) came to about £110 ISTR.

Thats a little cheaper than I would expect, Add another £100 if it needs to be skimmed (depends on the amount of overheating and the type of head, but you can't tell it's off.)
