I think some one is not telling you the truth about a repair here. Fly wheels just don't go wrong, they are after all, just a big solid round chuck of metal that just turns around at one end of the cars engine, they are normally bolted to the crank shaft to help maintain engine inertia.
What ever you have been told take it some where else and get a second opinion with out mentioning the last place told you that you needed to get the flywheel replaced. It sounds sexist but take a bloke who knows even a little about cars along with you to the next garage.

That depends on several things, first what type of car you have, second what work is required to "fix" it, third if you are going to remove the fly wheel yourself or if a garage is going to do it for you.
Typically if the fly wheel has become burnt and warped, to have the fly wheel ground to run true will cost about £20.

Really need more info here. What's actually wrong with it?
In 20-odd years of driving I've only ever once had to get a flywheel fixed, on a rear-drive auto BMW, where the starter motor had chewed a few teeth off the edge of it. If I remember, it cost me about £150, using a secondhand flywheel, but it could cost more if it's difficult to get at.

depends what car you have? on a 2000/2007 ford escort 1.8 a second hand flywheel costs around £30 id guess at £80-150 for a new one, the labour per hour can be from £30-60 per hour depending on where you get it fitted so a second hand one fitted would cost £75-120 alltogether or a new one £125-195, if you can fit it yourself you will save a packet

Over £500 i assume. I did although do one for a acquaintances Lotus Elan after his storage screwed-up. The clowns heated the equipment with oxy-acetylene and it lasted 3 months! I placed the flywheel interior the freezer in one day and gently heated the equipment in a kinfolk oven to the minimum achievable temperature. After doing the shrink-extra healthful I painted grease onto the equipment tooth to help it harm-in. achieved this variety that is going to final for over ten years. in certainty after various years sterling service the vehicle became exported to Japan and the ring equipment became nevertheless ok! this is the version between an engineer and a cack-exceeded mechanic.

It all depends if it's a solid flywheel you can get it skimmed fairly cheaply if it's a new car it may have a dual mass flywheel you need a new one I just spent £390~00 on one for my vectra (another rip off by vauxhall).

fly wheels do not usually cause trouble if it is a starting problem you can have the ring gear replaced that is the teeth that the starter engages

Major expense. You either have to take the engine out or the gearbox out.
