The issue is having faith that they put every single little nut and bolt back rather than tossing it over their shoulder. Since there is obviously going to be lots of little things removed, it makes 100% logical sense that there is a lot of stuff to forget or simply overlook when reinstalling it all.

My personal experience with mechanics absolutely worries me in regards to tiny nuts and bolts not going back where they belong. Yes, it worries me. All they have to do is be lazy/stupid once, since we're only getting it done once.

The mechanic concern is true for EVERY bit of maintenance. I've known people at dealerships who have forgotten to put oil in a car during an oil change and only remembered when they noticed the oil light didn't go off.

Find a mechanic that you trust if you don't feel comfortable doing the work yourself.

However, again, something you will have to do in probably 6 years or so shouldn't be a massive concern IMO. If the oil changes cost $400, and rotors cost $600 each and pads cost $400 per axle set, etc I could see some concerns, or if you had a WC Porsche motor with possible IMS failures, etc.. but it's spark plugs.. and likely won't require that much work as described in the manual.
