The mechanics that I've used have been overwhelmingly honest.

My problem is that most of them have not been very good diagnostic technicians.

I just feel I've paid dearly for their "stab in the dark" mentality, throwing parts at the problem until one of them finally fixed the problem.

I'd conjecture more than half of the parts I've had replaced on my car were done so unnecessarily.

I don't mind paying for diagnostic time, but don't like paying for parts that shouldn't have been replaced in the first place.
