+1 Absolutely.
Carelessness affects every aspect of the repair, usually.
I wouldn't trust they used a torque wrench at all.

When I was a diesel mechanic I used to wipe off any and all crap like that, even in the engine compartment.

I always told the owner to wash the bike before I would work on it. If not I'd charge $40 to spray Gunk on it and let it dry for 24 hours. If he didn't like that, I'd send him on his way. :whistle:
If I bought parts and they came to me dirty, I'd file a NOT AS DESCRIBED claim and let the seller pay for return shipping. :angry:
I always washed the bikes I worked on before giving it back to the owners. Just good business. B)

Great idea! And wait one more week to get another part which can come dirty too.

I knew I should have copied his post. Deleted was the suggestion of bringing a gun and what he said about sending dirty parts.
