More likely to get told a pack of lies and to end up fixing things that don’t need fixin’. And yah yah I know I know “your mechanic is trustworthy”. Funny how everyone says that but I’ve only met a few honest mechanics in my long life.  And yes I know how to tell an honest mechanic from a dishonest one.  Been hard-core wrenching for more decades than most here have been alive. 

 So what’s the solution? Become a mechanic? 

 I wish I had a solution for you fren. Maybe we can come up with one together?  Meanwhile just gonna have to rely on your judgement like you’ve been doing. Sorry 😞 

Oh 💡…but there is this… go to a busy shop as they’re less likely to have to make shit up. 

 common sense 

 Except that the incentive to always find something wrong is just too great for mechanics. 

 Why is it a bad thing to find something wrong with the code? that is the point of maintenance
