Worst case scenario, it couldn't hurt you to know when your mechanic lied to you in those instances. Sure, you can't forget that your mechanic is part of a business when your check engine light comes on, but knowing the difference between someone helping you or when they are trying to help the financial situation of their auto repair shop will be crucial to saving you money that you don't need to spend.
