Maybe it's just me but it has happened too many times and I also find poor workmanship in many of the repairs. There are times when you just have to bring it to a shop for repairs (hopefully you have found one that is trust worthy and will do a good job), but when ever possible I will opt to make the repairs myself. If something goes wrong at least I know who to blame !
