Has anyone an idea for fixing a pool cover less expensively than from the
pool-cover company?

Since it's a "safety" feature, I didn't expect parts to be cheap but my
vinyl Infinity 4000 pool cover was quoted at 3,000 dollars and the motor at
1,200 dollars.

Can a small motor such as that which rolls the pool cover up really cost
1200 dollars?

Take the motor to a electrical service center. It may be as simple as
replacing the brushes.
Is there something wrong with the actual cover?

Exactly. Per your comments and those of Ed, are we talking replacing/
fixing just a motor or is this the price for a whole drive system?
If it's just the motor, identify it as a component itself and you will
likely find that it is available from other sources or could be
rebuilt by a local electric motor shop.



Or is this quote from the manufacturer just way too high?

I tried searching for Infinity 4000 parts online but haven't found any yet.

Any ideas?
