So get to know your local mechanic(s) and be genuine about it. Make a real friendship with them. And here's a common sense tip. Be a little humble, and express a ton of appreciation. Everyone, including mechanics, like to be valued and appreciated. One time I bought two Village Inn pies for a couple of mechanics in Colorado Springs (I won't say which shop or mechanics) because they had been so good to me over time and in one situation they were honest with me on a repair when another mechanic in town was trying to rip me off. I even wrote a letter of commendation to their supervisor, praising their integrity, overall excellence and people skills. Now that all may seem over-the-top, but they absolutely knew I was sincere, so the gestures were well-received. We all became good friends because of their professionalism and my appreciation of their professionalism.
