Don't you just hate this type of situation?!? I do.
if a mechanic, or any other tradesman, was telling me BS I would never go to them again.

A number of years ago I was in some quick lube place getting an oil change and the guy at the counter was giving some woman the hard sell on a fuel system flush and transmission flush. He said "It's right in your manual to get this done" The woman turned around and said "You're a man and probably know more about cars, what do you think?" I said, "go get your manual and have him show you were it says that" The good news is he tossed me out and I did not have to pay for my oil change.
