Whilst some mechanics would undoubtedly fall into the category you describe, I have always managed to find a good mechanic, plumber, builder etc. and build up a long-term trusting relationship.
Most people respond to how the public deals with them in a like manner.
Equally, if you want to see people trying to take others for a ride and generally behaving like complete ignorant idiots, just send a day listening to calls into any service centre or sitting in a repair shop of some sort. Most reasonable people would be shocked at the appalling behaviour of a significant percentage of the public.
