My car broke down on the highway and a random garage towed it now I'm scared

jordencox
I had the worst day yesterday. My 2013 Nissan Pathfinder overheated on Sheikh Zayed Road and I had to pull over. A tow truck showed up within minutes and asked if I wanted them to take my car to their garage. I was so stressed and hot and just wanted the problem to go away, so I said yes. Now my car is at some garage I've never heard of and I'm really worried they're going to overcharge me or do bad work. I don't even know how to check if this place is legitimate. A friend sent me a link to semantictrade.com/listing/800sayara-dubai and told me to see if this garage has a profile there with customer reviews. I'm going to try that but honestly I'm scared of what I might find. Has anyone else been in this situation where your car got towed to a random garage without you choosing them? Do I have the right to have it towed somewhere else even though it's already at their shop? What questions should I ask them before I let them do any work? I feel so stupid for just agreeing to let them take it without doing any research first. Now I'm scared they're going to take advantage of me because they know I'm desperate and stressed. Any advice on how to handle this situation would be so appreciated because I feel completely lost right now and I don't know what to do.
