In my time I've had it happen to me on three occasions & on all that was what they did by putting wd 40 (lots of it) & try to unseaze . Got lucky 2 out of 3 times.
Although, I would take another opinion from another teck before you make your final decision.

I hope it all works out well for you. If you need to get a new blower, try looking up in the Internet for distributors who carry Roots or what ever make you prefer. Some times the carpet supply stores over charge.

You can ship it to the manufacturer for a rebuild. I suppose you could even do it yourself.
I was at a shop one time and they had a unit with a seized blower. They would fill it with diesel and let it soak overnight and then try to break it free with a six foot breaker bar. If it did not break free easily, they would let it soak another night and try again.

Did he said there was something broken inside because he couldnt break it loose?
I had the problem once, he poured some acid inside and let it sit, then used a xl pipe wrench and broke it loose at the 3rd attemp. I know that you can break something inside or the shaft if forced too hard.
Maybe he didnt took it out to have a good support to do the loosening.
