Holy Moly! That price is nuts.
If you don't notice a problem then you probably don't have one. If you can't get your front end to bounce while pushing it down then you should be fine. If they think you need shocks and struts then they will certainly try and sell them to you. I would just casually ask them how much longer before they think you need new ones. Chances are they will say they didn't notice or that they will guesstimate on the spot to get you to worry it.
I understand not everyone works on their car but struts are 4 hours or so is what it takes me depending upon the amount of rust. The hardest part is compressing the spring and that involves a wrench and if you are lucky a vice. Hell, I'd do it for $250 plus parts and the socket to get the axle off.
