Thank you.
For example.. "Could I have a quote on your translation service"?
Is it correct?

Thanks

I'd use "quote for" in that sentence.

It's not a phrase as such.It's just a noun used with a preposition, as in the following:

I found that quote on page 65.
He wrote the quote on the board.
He passed the quote on to his colleague.
He gave me a quote for his services.
