My check engine light can on and my 1999 Ford Winstar van did not want to start. It finally did, so I took it to the local mechanic whom I had never been to before.

It was the Mass Air Sensor. $200 for the part, he told me, $70 labor. I checked at Autozone and got the part for $129. It was located in the air filter. Took me about 45 minutes to change it.

Weasels!

You are making a generalization which certainly does not apply to ALL mechanics. I know several who would not take advantage of anyone for anything because they are honorable.

I have my own OBD II/CAN reader so the only thing I take to the mechanic is stuff I don't feel like working on, and as I know exactly what problem is I never have issues with him trying to pull a fast one, in fact I don't think he tries pulling a fast one on anybody.
