If you are lucky this is the torque converter. If this is a Nissan with the CVT transmission then it is also possible that the transmission is screwed up in which case it will be a very expensive fix. Nissan is known to have really fucked up CVT transmissions that don’t last for shit.
Do you have a Discount Tire store nearby? If so you could go get 4 new tires and they would look at your brakes when you have them install the tires… It would be cheaper than what these guys are trying to charge you just to rotate the tires.

Others have explained how over priced this is. But beyond that when you are able trade the car in and get one with a normal automatic or even an old school manual transmission. The CVT transmissions do not last and when they give up the ghost it will cost you a lot. You’ll find lots of Nissans sold dirt cheap with transmission issues, because they are all CVT transmissions and unlike normal automatic transmissions CVT transmissions have a belt/chain that wears out over time. Hondas aren’t as bad but they are still relatively new technology for Honda so I wouldn’t expect them to be as reliable as an old school automatic. Maybe in another 10 years CVTs will have become more reliable but you are taking a risk with one.
If you were in the business of selling used tire then he might have some recourse… but because you aren’t a tire dealer you aren’t liable for anything. Only thing that would change that is if you had known of some defect and then done something to hide it from the purchaser.
