All car owners maybe. For just Z owners it might be different. I never did any work on my vehicles before purchasing the Z, but now I do it all. I even dropped the transmission in my garage with a little help.

One thing I've found that seems to work pretty well is telling the shop that driving the car off the lot is strictly forbidden without first calling me to get authorization. I take a picture of the mileage before I drop it off, and I make sure they know I'm going to raise hell if something is amiss when I pick it up. Anyone can do this.

You can do the same thing with valet. Or just get a tune and switch over to valet mode (can't rev over 2500 RPMs or go faster than 35 mph).
