I'd have figured $150 in parts if you do it yourself; $200 tops (go ahead and replace the belt while you're at it).
Hour worth of labor if you have the mechanic do it. I figured $100-$150/hr with a 1 hour minimum for a reasonable shop rate and you're looking at $250-$350 tops.
$600 seems brutal unless he has a car that's just a bitch to get to the alternator.
