On the G, there are something like 12 screws + 4 clips holding the thing together. The last time my dad's G went to the dealer, they didn't put them all back. . .

That is one of the few reasons why I do not want to go to a dealer to have it done.

I hate people that do half a$$ed work.

Oh, our cars do have the under body panel.

This is not uncommon. Most techs are paid by the job so the quicker they do it the more money they can make. I have 2 brothers that are Techs (Not Nissan techs though). They try very hard to complete jobs as quickly as possible. Unfortunately speed has a tendency to negatively affect quality.

Plus, you can forget about them using a torque wrench. I don't care what a shop or dealer tells you. They rarely use them.
