Anytime I've had to bring my car to a shop, for any reason. I've run around each bolt, loosened, and properly torqued. Things like an inspection, will take at least a wheel off, and dealing with warped rotors, blows.
This is a really good practice but not everyone has the experience tools, time and space to do this. Not to toot my own horn (hah) but I am capable of performing any repair that has come up for my car but I still pay a mechanic most of the time because after moving to a city I don't have the space for my tools or a place to work on the car.
It's unfortunate that the shop that carries the manufacturers name is not a trustworthy place to have the work done, even with their exorbitant premium on labor.
