Did they remove it and take the rings off and clean everything? That's what they're supposed to do. Shimano has even given them 10 pages of instructions just for the cleaning. It's all in this Mapdec video which dubtap referred to https://youtu.be/HZLc3Ml4TXQ?si=wS6oIbstesAI50bg&t=352

How long does the inspecti0n take, and how much does the shop get paid for it?

Bottom bracket service plus chainring swap is about £35 in my neck of the woods. Add another £20 for the inspection time and risk*, and I think that’s a reasonable amount.

*madison sent an email saying shops were shielded from liability if a crank failed after inspection, but even taking the risk of assuming that were true and didn’t result in any legal peril, what shop would want the bad publicity and guilt resulting from a customer having a severe accident after their crank was cleared as not affected?

Basically yeah. If I write on a customers bill 'cranks inspected' and then something happens, its my and my insurance companies £££ on the line, and the moral issue that comes with it.

So most shops wanting to survive will just say 'can send to madison, and let them see, I know nothing....'
