I wouldn't think all three motors would die at the same time. See another Dr. of Motors for a 2nd opinion.

I'm not sure the seat was ever alive.

check all fuses?

Check the obvious first! Check the FUSE. Seems you've lost electrical power to the entire seat and the fuse would be the first option, an electrical connecter somewhere not plugged in tight second. Any shop telling you to replace the seat motors is a dealer that wouldn't see my vehicle ever again.
