From the linked article:
A new dentist bought the practice I worked in. She who would claim cavities where there were none on the x-rays. Drill 'em and fill 'em. Very bad. When I caught on, before I left spent two weeksI telling my patients to go to another dentist for a 'second opinion.' She'd drill teeth in mouths that never had a cavity. A nightmare and fraud.

Squeaky wheel gets the oil.
BUT not the brand/type of shock.
Happens all the time. Let the buyer beware.
I gave my 2006 Escape to my step son. He took it to a shop to get some work done and they told him the rear shocks were shot and needed replacement and shouldn't be driven. Except I just replaced them around 4 years ago but it sat for the last two years. I checked them they are absolutely fine. It's pretty obvious when a shock is bad. Remember, Weep-age is normal, leakage is not.
We hear "buyer beware" all the time. Of course that's good advice, but not everyone has the knowledge or intellect to 'beware.'
As it should have been covered under Warranty!!I had a F-150 years ago with a leaky shock that was covered under Warranty!!
Well then, simply do not buy, or hire anyone to do work for you. If you don't want to do any "homework" in checking their credentials or work ethics, join forums and read about potential issues as most do here, or contact friends who can be more knowledgeable than yourself, then as I stated, let the buyer beware.
