Can you trust your mechanic?

I wonder if cars that inspire a loyal following tend to have dedicated mechanics that do the same. D recently bought an a VW. We found a nearby shop with a guy that has inspired quite a few fans. Having spoken with him, I admire his dedication to the cause.

There was a tire franchise nearby that I loved for many years, with a great manager. Until they tried to get me to buy a new oil pan-getting a little soft in places, or so they said. No way. Had it checked by another mechanic, no soft or rusty spots found. This van was on its last legs, and a rust bucket. Not worth fixing in my book, and confirmed by another shop.
