When you move the car to "ON" without starting, you should hear the fuel priming. If you don't hear it, then a pump issue is completely false. It still doesn't eliminate the possibility of an issue related to the fuel relay or other electronics.
Walbro 255 lph pumps only cost about 100-150 dollars. Even factoring in the OE/dealer prices, 400 dollars in parts, especially if it's just the fuel pump as they say, is astronomical. You'd be better off using an aftermarket solution.
If that mechanic's shop is not the dealer, take it to a dealer. A standard mechanic at some mechanic's shop is not really the best source. Perhaps if he were a current Master Tech, then maybe.
