In this example, I do have more empathy for folks who wonder if their mechanic is giving them the best deal, versus folks who call those who have those doubts idiots.

The better analogy would be if your car didn't have any brakes and you were expressing doubts about whether it would be good for your car to have brakes because you'd heard that some people have been injured because the car they were in came to a stop too quickly.
