That's closer to a $4000 job.
I had a tree like this, maybe a little thinner but close. An ash tree that started dying due to ash borers. I had it cut down (stump left) for only $800. Granted, I found a tree cutting service that didn't use super fancy machinery. But they still did a good job and got it done in like 30 minutes.
Being closer to the house and garage might affect it. We had five ash trees killed by borers. There was a place near me that briefly had been taking the wood, and would come take the ash trees down if they were above a certain size. But after a few months, they had more wood than they could use in a lifetime. Those beetles killed a lot of trees.
It's also worth noting that the arborist offered to haul away the lumber for a fee, or they would cut it up and leave it for firewood. We put a sign up, and it was gone by the end of the day. We even had one guy bring a splitter and left us a small stack for our firepit.
I just had a large 60-70' tree taken out.
They used 2 cranes.
$2100
No stump grinding
I don't know how you're going to make an accurate estimate based on this single pic. One of my best friends is an arborist and it can get very complicated in ways that aren't obvious to non-experts.
