Don’t call unless you want to be ripped off.

Called Lube Mobile out for an issue on my car whilst I was at work, biggest mistake. I was told that my engine mount was completely broken. Okay, I believed this and was told a quote of $1700 to repair, which I declined anyway. After taking my car to my dad and my uncle who used to be mechanics in the past they had discovered that my engine mount in fact wasn’t broken. As soon as I explained to my dad and uncle the problem my car was facing, they immediately said no it’s your transmission. I then took it to another mechanic and was told yes my engine mount is NOT broken, the problem is my transmission. He was able to tell me this as soon as I explained the problem. I’ve been told by my dad, my uncle and the mechanic I took it to that an engine mount repair is no where near the quote of $1700 and would not take “half a day” to fix like I was also told. Now I’m not sure if it’s because I’m a woman that this mechanic thought he could attempt to rip me off like this, or he is either just a terrible person thinking it’s okay to rip people off. Especially when cost of living is already up the roof, have some respect and honesty. As far as I’m concerned I should be getting a refund for the call out fee I paid.
