> So what? Say no if you don't want the work. Done. Do you get mad at every salesman who pushes their product on you?

Non-functional breaks mean death. If its okay for an expert to lie to you to sell you unnessesary service, then it's okay for a doctor to tell you you need urgent surgery when in fact you don't?

>a doctor to tell you you need urgent surgery when in fact you don't?

I have had exactly that happen to me when I visited a very fancy dental clinic, replete with photos of household name celebrity clients on its lobby's wall.

After doing a fancy 3D scan of my teeth they've concluded that I urgently needed to remove a wisdom tooth that had been lying dormant in a horizontal position in my mouth or else.

That "else" hasn't happened in 10 years since my first and only visit there.
