Big Andy, how do you know that they know what they are doing? How do you know they haven't taken on a new guy who doesn't have a clue or doesn't care about your safety.
I have always worked on the belief that if we do the work we know what is in the car and we naturally strive to get it right.
I have seen plenty of people who know how to charge, but I wouldn't let them loose on a lawn mower.
It's like the common belief that one should always have the engine and gearbox built by a recognised builder. Why!!? You don't get to watch while the work is done, it could be built by some lad who couldn't get a job anywhere else and the first you will know about it is when it all lets go.

I firmly believe in getting all the relevant literature together and sitting down with a tool kit and doing it ourselves.
It is this that makes us hold back at moving into FR2000 cars when just about everything has to be brought built and sealed. It could have been built by the mechanic from hell for all we know.
