The crux of the question really is "if the licenced and qualified
engineer -
who would get paid for fixing the problem if there was a problem - says
that
it's OK, does one trust that?

Do you trust the FBO? Why or why not? Follow the money.

From a FBO position it's really not a "money thing" (I used to run the
outfit, and I know that that doesn't enter into it) - as far as trusting
engineers go, well, it's been my experience that they know their stuff
pretty well, but like all of us they make mistakes - and I've been around
the game long enough to have experienced many situations where the aircraft
has gone into the shop with 1 fault, and come out with 2 new ones - so I
guess you could say that a "healthy dose of suspicion goes a long way in
this business".
