That used to be a useful guidelines a few decades ago, but that changed 
a lot in the last 10, 20 years.
Of course, if it's an old-school mechanis, this may be the best workshop 
ever - it will just go away when the current owner retires.

Sure, but how do you judge that work if you're not an expert?
With old-style cars, you could inspect the machinery, even if you 
weren't fully educated you could see if there was grime in the gears or 
not. With today's cars and their electronics, and today's 
millions-of-lines software, that kind of check has become impossible.
