Hmmm... I'll >stick to working on the cars myself 'til I figure that one out. Incompetent but honest. They'll always tell you what they can't do. THe other ones will always tell you they can do it, and you might get a good job, you might not. They will competently replace all sorts of stuff that may not need replacing.... "Yeah, the frammistat is shot, runs up your wear on the nitrous oxide injection system. You have to replace that, and it's big bucks.
