Honest in dealings? There is always a long list of them.

Usually it's only a very minor fault, but if you know nuts about car, then (sorry) you are at the mercy (honesty) of the W/S mechanic.
That's life.

A very good resource before I go and discuss bolts and nuts with my favorite neighborhood mechanic is to visit www.mycarforum.com. Here, one can not only get the resource necessary for the repair, u also can get to know the market price for the repair. Then can one really negotiate properly. Hope it helps :p
