I have been to several mechanics...everyone of them has scammed me in one way or another! Most of the time they lie to me about parts thet I need...or what it will cost to actually fix the problem...why do they charge for parts runs when they should have your part in stock already?

You have a problem identified, be smart enough to solve it. Simple.

Go to the dealership. I know you get charged outrageous prices but then you can get ripped off not because you are a woman but simply because they would rip there own grandmothers off. You should not get charged for a parts run. All they do is have their part supplier deliver the part. If this is any kind of a real auto shop they will have something similar to this in place. If the didn't tell you up front then I would have told them to stuff it.

the best thing to do would be to check out the appearance of all the local garages and find a couple that look acceptable.
Then go on-line and check them out at the BBB(better business bureau )
This should narrow down the choices
Then go to each shop with a small problem that you know the solution to and see how much they want to fix it.
(remember to play as stupid as possible)
One shop out of the many should be honest enough to help you with the problem
Seems like alot of work, but honestly men can get ripped out just as much as a women, lots of men don't know a thing about cars
About the parts run comment...... what kind of car is it?
Car shops usually carry only items that as used on a wide array of vehicles.
Stock items should include:
Brake pads
Oil Filters
Belts
Alternators
Other items may not be carried such as :
Shocks
Brake Lines
Calipers
Rotors
Tune-up Parts

most guys thinks that we women are dumb and think that they can charge anything they want and we not know the difference.
I agree with you that this is not right.
