can I trust Dealer Installation?

from my experience, No.

Dealerships are incompetent from my experience. IF they mess it up will they fix it? Maybe, they never fixed my slave cylinder recall correctly though. Also smashed up my floor boards TWICE due to an improper lift. Didn't accept responsibility till the second time. I had to pay the first.

also,

No matter if the dealer's work is warrantied or not, If you keep going back to have it fixed, you'll end up having a car diassembled and reassembled so much that the integrity will just not be the same.

My pillars and interior panels have been screwed around so much by the dealership that its created rattles that weren't there on a brand new car at that time.

It all depends on the dealership, but my experience tells me that, no do not trust them to do the right work.

Just went through the exact same thing 3 weeks ago. I had the same feeling when I handed over my key to the service manager. Turns out that was their first time installing a in-mirror camera on a Z

and took them 6 hours to complete the job. I was lucky enough that they did a pretty good job after all.
