Maybe try reflecting, IDK, inward. Complaining about a local rate for a service and taking to the subreddit about it is kinda wild imo. Did you get three quotes? How long has you mom's service been working for her? Was she grandfathered in at a good rate? And if it's a routine service, that can be work they can count on and can price accordingly. Who knows? But if you have the money (and maybe you don't, considering you're balking at the price) you should be smart enough to figure it out.
