Leica repair wait times

His shop is about 10 minutes from my home, so I take my cameras to him for most things. He's good for some things but not great for others for instance I brought my M-P in for rangefinder calibration (because NJ said it would take them 6-8 weeks, yes, really) and it came back with the vertical alignment somehow off. I had him redo it a couple of times before finally I had him adjust it, hand it to me to check and then adjust it again based on what I was seeing because he couldn't see that it was out of alignment. He also can't/won't adjust certain lenses like my 50mm Summarit f/2.5, he told me I should just stop down when it was back-focussing. Generally he's very good though, if a little pricey. 

 

...not trying to spark any fires here, but curious about the logic, how can someone be recommended that you feel can't actually "See" the misalignment?  how could that person be expected to execute an intelligent repair or critical adjustment?

I don't recall recommending him in this thread, I was just relating my most recent experience.
