The reputation of a dealership is at stake if a mechanic lies. Then there's the liability issues if the brakes he tested passed but failed a few days later.

I live in small town High River and if any of the mechanics at the Ford dealership here did that they'd lose a lot of business. Word spreads quite quickly in a small town.

Are there shady and dishonest mechanics around? For sure. A buddy owns an auto repair shop in Calgary. A few years back another mechanic moved into the strip mall. He lasted a year before he went out of business. The reason was for doing shoddy work and being dishonest.
