Changing a fan is the sort of job any fitter should be able to do. Not

With modern cars I wouldn't like to bet that you can get access to
all the fixings without having to dismantle the front end of the car
to at one of them.

But if an electric one, it may not be the fan motor which has failed.
You then move on to needing electrical/electronic skills. Often rather
lacking in garages.

Assuming the fan only has two wires any fitter ought to be able to
feed it some volts and see if it goes round. If the control system
has gone up it, then you'll probably need the makers diagnostics
computer to find out what it's not happy about.
