Whats a reasonable price for having an antique wind up table clock repaired?

This clock is an antique wind up with a key dome covered table clock,it needs to be cleaned, oiled adjusted and the suspension wire replaced for the moving pendulum,My first quote is for 250.00, this seems high for me but I dont know anything about clocks.Can somebody tell me if this is reasonable or to high?
