I would say your mechanic should foot the cost. He is not getting paid a perfessional wage to do shotgun maintenance and this not that difficult to figure out even if you don't have access to fault isolation flow charts. Did he also try to say that probably had to be replaced anyway? He should at least do the waterpump/t-stat at cost for parts only.
If your fan is always going, I dunno how that equates to needing a new fan. It shutting down is normal depending on the coolant temp. There are things that you might have to kinda guess, but I don't think this was one of them.
