I have no clue if the bushings in my car really did need replacing. Not even sure what they are. My mechanic sure has an incentive to say they do, as he'll make money that way, but if what he says sounds kinda reasonable and I don't get weird vibes from him, I am not taking a gamble with my 1600kg, 120km/h destroyer-of-pedestrians-and-passengers.

Most people aren't medical doctors, and most aren't gonna gamble with their health. It's a transaction where one side has way more information, less to loose, and therefore more power. Hopefully they use that power for good.
