My mechanic of 30 years is like that- always fair with the price, and if it was just something minor that didn't take significant time, no charge. Had an '85 GMC 6.2 diesel, running real rough, I figured injector pump rebuild. He called later in the day- return line needed drained, no charge.

But he's in his 50's and says his days in the business are numbered- he's able to do less and less as cars get more sophisticated and require computers and tools that only the dealers have. He said if it wasn't for the never-ending need for brake jobs, he'd be pretty hungry already.
I asked if the physical demands of the job were getting harder- he said mainly having to get on the floor. Getting down is not so hard, but have to plot how you're going to get back up before you do so.
