Hi guys
I have a question!
What should I look for ?
I just received my car back from a 30000km service and when I popped the hood it seems as if it was never touched as I can see the ditch and dust in the engine compartment ?
What should I look for to see if service really was done ?

Re: A little concerned
Check colour of oil? What was said to be done via the invoice? Check those items. Remember they will not clean the engine bay.

Re: A little concerned
Most modern cars only do oil changes up until 45/60k services, so checking the oil is your only option
Oil filter housing should be the easiest to spot if its been removed/cleaned
