Never sign a blank work order.
If you think the estimate sounds too high, don't be afraid to get a second opinion.
Keep records of what was done to your car when, and know how often most parts need to be replaced/fixed/changed/tuned up....so when the mechanic tells you "Gee, I think you need new brakes", you know when your brakes were last replaced, and how long brakes ususally last.
