1 /5 Leah Isalover: Hector told me I needed a brand new transmission (that it cannot be a used one) and gave me crap about it when I wanted it towed somewhere else for a second opinion. He said it would be around $8,000. I’m a woman so this happens to me all the time. Well, thank god I got the second opinion bc nothing was wrong with my transmission! I wish there was some way to protect us women from getting ripped off like this. It’s a shame.
