This brings up something that's been on my mind for a while. If you take your car to a mechanic with a problem and they replace a part (or bunch of parts) that end up not fixing the problem, is it ethical for the mechanic to charge the owner for all of those "unnecessary" new parts that didn't solve the issue that brought them to the shop in the first place?

If the owner doesn't mind the newer parts, fine. If those replaced parts were getting old and needed to be replaced anyway, fine. But what if the parts weren't that old or bad?
