What do you think of this offer?

Ask what the "Normal Price" is and what maker and model components you
will be getting for the unspecified amount. If the shop is supplying
name brand components with a good reputation for quality at a
reasonable price, go for it. If it's some unknown and no-name brand
of components, perhaps it's not a good idea at any price. In other
words, get a real written estimate on the cost of the components plus
the labor.

There are also some details to consider:
1. Is there a warranty on the work?
2. What happens if the shifting problem is present with the new
hardware?
3. If you are planning to learn something about bicycle mechanics
from this exercise, it's not going to happen by having the LBS do all
the work. Buy the components and do it yourself. If you screw it up,
you can always go back to the LBS and have them do the necessary
adjustments.

You gave me some things to consider.

Much of what needs to be done is completely new to me.

The parts alone are close to $60.

I like learning and have watched him make other repairs and learned from it.

There are plenty of bike repair videos, but some things do not go smoothly when done the first time.
