You know if you were serviced good based on the experience and how your repair held up.
But how do you know who is honest?
If you didn't get at least a few estimates on your repair/service you can't possibly know.
And who gets estimates when your car needs repair? Not many. Way too time consuming.
It's basically, luck of the draw.

I think when you talk about honesty it means you feel you were treated fairly. Unless one estimate is way higher you really can't tell if you were taken. An estimate may be higher if they price quoted dealer parts vs aftermarket, garage rate may be higher etc. It doesn't mean they're dishonest they just charging what they feel their work is worth.
You can save, sometimes a lot of, money by using an aftermarket part. Couple years ago my steering arms needed replacing on the car I had. The dealership cost per arm was $225. The aftermarket cost through Advanced Auto was $75. Same part just didn't have a Mopar logo.
