I don't feel you should need to pay a diagnostic price to get a quote for a job.
Back in my Vauxhall owning days, the garage back then would also insist on doing their own diagnostics but they would at least tell you that, for example, "if you're certain that's what you want done, a wheel bearing would be £xxx. We'd prefer to diagnose it ourselves though, for which the cost would be £yyy, plus the repair".
