Yeah, I am not big on trusting another mechanic's work, sight unseen. But I'm a aircraft mechanic and was brought up in the tradition of cross-check.
IMO, you need to select a good mechanic now, and arrange an initial condition inspection and a continuing maintenance plan, with a written out checklist.
