Yep seen both.  In the auto repair business I've seen many crooks and 
more than a few that had no idea.

This guy will not take action one a single code set unless it is 
something that would be fatal - and as such we have dealt with this 
issue for several months.  Is he perfect?  I dare say not but long 
experience tells me he is honest and knowledgeable.  In any one instance 
I might be able to solve an issue with less expense but over the long 
haul I'm with him.  I trust him and over time he has earned that trust. 
For that confidence I'll pay a bit more.
