It's your car, not your girlfriend.
most joyriding mechanics just got their job. If you get an experience mechanic, chances are they've worked on faster cars than yours and wouldn't be excited about it.

Just make sure you do a walk around before and after the install and make notes of any scratches or nicks on the car. Also record the odometer

O and make sure you do the walk around with a person from the service department and make sure they write things down and give you a copy before you let them take your car.

Ok, if the installer has done this before, then he can do it quickly within an hour. I think you can stand there for an hour and watch. And youll learn something from it. When i got my springs and header installed on my celica, i stood and watched. now i know how to do it all.

IF you don't trust your mechanic then thers no point in taking your car there. Also, taking a picture of your odometer wouldn't really matter since they can just rollback the odo after they do a drive around....
