Do yourself a favor and look in your owners manual/service book that came with the car. It will tell you when you should replace what, and what should be adjusted, etc.
Make up your list and tell the mechanic I want you to do 1, 2, and 3. If they want to do more, ask them to call you first for approval. So, tell them to change the fuel filter, if that is what you want, don't assume anything.
Once a mechanic builds up your trust, then stick with them , but be ever watchful. Sometimes they will still lead you to spend un-needed dollars. You've taken the first step, educate yourself. Keep your own records of everything that has been done to your car to pevent and protect your money.
