Is it nearly $1000 to get CV joint repaired or axle shaft?

My steering wheel began making clicking noise yesterday upon turning. I guess I'm ok for a bit to drive it but soon I need to have a mechanic look at it. I just got a price online that click noises are often a CV joint and that it's $900-$1000 . Is that the average price to get it repaired ??? 😮

@Whyme Ty for the quote. I guess mechanic
do raise prices sometimes vs. getting it yourself.
The clicking has only occured once, two days ago. And yesterday I drove it about 20 minutes, no clicking sound. There was a bolt like knock sound two weeks ago in middle of steering wheel, but nothing since then. I wonder if I can drive it for a while to see if these two sounds become prevalent, or is it concerning even once or twice, and get it looked at soon?
