I found this article at moneyfunk.net that explains a few items needed when considering who you should trust to work on your car. I would like to add one item to the list. Ask the mechanic or shop owner their views on bringing your own parts. Whether they agree or not, you will gain valuable insight into their business ethics by listening to the response. If they sound arrogant and exclusive in their views you may want to steer clear. There should always be some flexibility in this area because some jobs are just honestly too costly without creativity.
Even though we sell parts over the internet for mechanics and DIYers to install, I would agree that inferior quality to save money puts everyone in a bad situation. However, if you are getting OE parts at a savings and can then afford to do the repair, everyone wins. The main thing comes down to who can you trust to help you do what is best for you. Honest repairs will cost money, but will probably keep you safe and on the road.
