Yikes…

A trustworthy mechanic is worth its weight in gold, it might be worth asking around as time goes on and seeing if you eventually get a reccomendation for someone local you can actually trust

My mechanic is just a dude with a lift. He has a single bay garage, and he works on cars. The front desk is literally just his computer desk where he looks up parts and stuff lol

I’m sorry your experience with mechanics has been so shitty, car issues can be incredibly stressful as it is
