I thought I had a good mechanic here in Canberra, have been using them for 5 years. The head mechanic changed this year and they overfilled my oil by 1litre and told me a heap of stuff needed replacing that didn't. Now im at a loss as finding a new mechanic is super painful.

That is my ultimate nightmare. I am always nervous if there is a service I have to out source for. My tip: Know what parts need to be changed or what they do & cost, basically try to come off like someone who knows enough so that straight out BS doesn't work & a clean car also shows an interest in cars which cant hurt.
