Hmmm, well you may have a point there about the sprocket, although actually I can see no reason why it would ever have been removed by that time...it was only 2k miles old.
But maybe that is how it happened after all.
AND the battery overflow tube was missing...and the reg/rec failed, acid boiled, etc. etc.
Sometimes though, a single bad experience at a given dealer can just be down to one rogue or junior/inexperienced mechanic, rather than an overall indication of a poor dealer workshop.
OK, I'm being charitable here, but everyone deserves one mistake, eh ?
Don't be too wary of doing the valve clearances yourself.
It pays to be very cautious, but if you proceed slowly there is no reason why a person of your ability could not at least check them yourself.
There's no real risk of getting anything wrong until you actually make any adjustments, but checking may be all that is required.
I've checked mine twice now, and replaced two shims too.
