2005 Monte Carlo Lt Crank Sensor

So my car recently stalled one day, and i figured it was a fuel problem (clogged fuel filter/weak fuel pump) because it only started with foot on gas. Got on ramps, it started on a incline which is weird. Drove it off ramps and it ended up stalling 10 min later. Tried to start it again, nothing. Then i Shook the car, it started for a second and ended up cutting off again. Was talking to my dad he said it could be sum stuff in fuel tank clogged up filter. So i ended up calling mobile mechanic to diagnose bc i dont have time to work or diagnose the car like that. He said it was a crank sensor, and labor is 750! Now im no professional mechanic but he talking bout he gotta pull the whole passenger side off. Now i watched sum videos basically took the belt off, crank pulley and a plastic piece off and sensor off and repeat. Me personally i dont think that is worth 750 and the part is 175 i believe so thats pushing 1k+ (including 85 diagnostic fee). Basically i just wanted to see if thats a fair price, right diagnostic, should i still drop the tank/replace fuel filter. Any advice is appreciated. 3.8L v6 btw
