I suspect You may have run afoul of one of three possible problems.
1) Front Crankshaft Seal leak
2) Counterbalance Shaft Seal leak and
3) Oil Pressure Switch failure

I would suggest you check the oil Pressure switch first. It is the easiest to check, and the cheapest to fix. It's mounted just above the Oil Filter on the rear of the engine. It looks like this:



Either an open end wrench or a deep socket will get it off. I believe it's 22mm.
It takes about .5 hours Labor (at the shop's prevailing labor rate) + the part$ + tax.

Like I said, check that first, If that passes muster, then we'll discuss the other possibilities.

All that I suggested reside on the same side (end) of the engine, just about 8 inches apart.

If that price also includes the (supposed)
Contaminated Timing belt
Crankshaft Seal
Camshaft Seal & Retainer
Counterbalance Shaft Seal
and Waterpump
then he's within the expected cost range
