What is the labor rate? At a dealer? Sounds high...
...upper control arm takes about 1 hour, 90 mins, Parts $100 if dealer cost. Maybe 250 there?
Tie rod ends, take 30 mins each. Parts probably, what, $150, dealer cost? Total $250.
Alignment, probably 200 if they have to drive it to a shop.
Plus, fudge factor if something is siezed.
Can you get a breakdown?

They all wear out eventually so personally I'd rather replace them all at
once versus replace one and then a month or so later have to replace another. I must have missed your comment on the alignment.
For and indy shop that hourly rate seems a bit steep.
