Question need help on 89 tempo gl

okay.. so i just got my 89 ford tempo gl at an auction last month.. and we towed it to the shop.. we told them to fix the major damages first before minors.. so they fixed the brakes for $100 and now they tell us that we need to fix the transmission for another $500.. wtf.. so i think i should tow the car to my house to fix the transmission.. the question is.. do you think that it is worth it? or will the shop do it for alot cheaper?? if anyone is good at fixing transmission tell me plz! thanks.

Btw, my "it's broken" reply was sarcastic because of his first reply to your question was so vague

no offense, but you dont sound like your too well versed in auto mechanics, a simple "broken tranny" can be anything from a fluid leak to a blown tranny
