I just reviewed all my receipts from Matt's shop. Here is a prime example of Matt's "up sell" and repair work.

1) car had 150K miles and recommended I checked the throttle bodies due to mileage. Did not do the repair .. Fast forward the car now has 206k miles and I have no issues with the throttle bodies.

2) 10/7/2017 156,838 Oil Level Sensor Oil Level Sensor and Oil Change. He charge me $171 for the Oil Level Sensor and $50 for an oil change.

Fast forward on 2/1/2019 at 201K miles I had to change the Oil Level Sensor again. Maybe I am wrong but I wouldn't expect an oil sensor to go bad within a year and half. I can only guess either the sensor wasn't bad/never replaced or it was replaced with a used sensor. The one I pulled out looked original to the car.

3) 3/24/2018 171,423 Trans Filter/Fluid Trans/Filter/Filter/Gasket - Within two weeks the tranny failed. I had to change the internal modular that cost $1,000. Maybe it was coincidental?
