My reasoning assumes that the main requirement is *getting the job
done properly*. IMHO, a competent lying mechanic will do the job but
you may be more out of pocket than you should be. An incompetent but
honest mechanic may do more damage than good. It's a fine point but
it's my experience and choice of qualities. YMMV.

It goes without saying that a competent, honest mechanic beats both
but they seem a bit thin on the ground.
