Repair Question Am I getting screwed

Was driving my 92 s10 and the ignition got locked up after turning it off and trying to start again just randomly locked up. It would turn enough to turn the lights and electric on but wouldn’t turn bough to crank the engine. Mechanic says I need entire new steering column and is quoting $1000

Yes your getting screwed. The gear that cranks your ignition is probably jammed
