Checked the trans and diff plugs. No sign they had been touched since the car was built. No tool marks in the grime. No fingerprints.
Checked my AC belt that he said he replaced, and it was totally dried and cracked. No way it could get like that in 14 months.
In short, he's a nice guy, but I'm not convinced he opened the hood.

Now, did you ask for Inspection II, or did you specifically ask him to change the spark plugs, transmission and diff plugs, and belts? 'Cause I know he's a BMW senior Master Technician at New Century before he started his own shop, and he does things by the book...So if inspection II does not call for changing diff and tranny fluid, he does not change them.
I've known him personally long enough to know he's about as honest as it gets, which is very rare for the business. So if you got billed for diff and tranny fluids, and spark plugs, and it doesn't look like anything has been touched, then something is wrong.
