Should I have expected more from a specialist garage??
Oh, and having been"disapointed" to various degrees , or suspected I should be "disapointed" by a lot of traders on here over the years i feel your pain.

Should I have expected more from a specialist garage??
I agree with both sides As a zed owner i would be well pissed off with a screw through the bracket. I was pissed off when they wrote their name all over my new petrol filter in marker pen, thought it looked shite. From previous experience i would have expected a call to say sorry broke it, what sort of fix would you like. As someone who runs a business, 1. You asked for a free bracket and you got one, i see this as requirements met. 2. Your first email about the bracket at no point explains that you tthink the specialist did the bodge or that you feel it is unaceptable, if i got an email like that just asking me to explain a picture without context then i would either give the requested explanation or reply in a sarcastic manner. I'm not going to even suggest which one you got as it clearly could be either As for what to expect. From previous experience with both my zeds and recently sending my other car to a specialist, i think most owners expect too much from an inspection or health check. They expect the car to be perfect with trouble free times ahead. I was certainly very disapointed in my recent (non zed) health check. So i feel that loose conections after a trailer ride cant be blamed on a garage and isnt something that i now feel would be picked up on a health check unless faulty on the day. However blocked targa drains and missing sills i would be disapointed werent found, especially as you were told it was in excelent condition. I guess you have had an admision that this was an oversight, not much use to you, but then again what can the garage do at this stage other than apologise. As smithy says its the abilaty to misread the origonal comunication that has led to unfortunate escalation. Same problem where on a forum people can take offence when none was intended

odometer and central locking
Sometimes the plastic cogs on the odemeter wear down and bits come off and jam them. A quick clean can fix it Both of my zeds when i press the trip reset button the odemeeter jams and stops going up. A few more presses in quick sucsesion usually frees it up

You can use it to enter a code to turn the alarm off if you lose the key fob. Or to switch features on and off such as auto alarm etc
