If it hasn't had any previously then I'd be checking first that the cables are moving the selector on the underside of the gearbox. If they've come adrift it won't select any gear.

If they're intact I'd be checking the fuse for the Autobox ECU which is in the underbonnet fusebox.

After that it would be a wiring check

Wouldn't trust what the garage says.

He can correctly diagnose a car over 300 miles away without even seeing it, but then again perhaps not
