Woah, here they charge anything from around 20 up to 150 euros for repairing the drive, if it's a common hdd replacing the electronics of isn't expensive. Fixing the actuator is usually over 100 euros and it's not guaranteed to work, so pretty much nobody chooses that.
It would only make sense to charge the amount of money you mentioned if the hard drive was physically destroyed.
