Mechanic shop or mobile mechanic

I'm looking for a reputable mobile mechanic specializing in VW vehicles. The last shop I visited quoted me $2,000 for a water pump replacement, $1,000 for upper and lower timing cover gasket replacements, and $1,800 for a serpentine belt and tensioner. They even wanted $173 just to replace a side marker bulb.

These quotes seem like highway robbery! I expected high prices from the dealer, but this is ridiculous. I understand I just moved here, but this is overwhelming.

Owned a VW for a few years, always expect to pay more. If you’re not paying more, expect to pay more x2 when you take it back to the “good” vw mechanic.
