Is it possible to find a good mechanic? Car repairs are a HUGE stress for me. We needed some work done on our minivan. One of the power doors wasn't working. $285 later, the mechanic decided the contacts needed to be cleaned. UGH! We were under the impression that he knew what he was doing as he came recommended. He decided to clean the contacts AFTER ripping apart the door and telling us he couldn't find the problem. I guess we should have asked what exactly he did to troubleshoot the problem. We paid for a lot of labor that was unnessecary. Needless to say, we will NOT be bringing our cars back to this repair shop. The whole "tuning up" of the door that he did should have been $90, not $285!!! Sad thing is, most people I talk to have a hard time finding a good mechanic too. I know they are out there, we've had them other places we've lived. The ones that are fair, tell you what needs to be fixed, tell you what you can put off if money is an issue, and are thorough in their repair job.
Oh well...live and learn, and lose money in the process!
