I agree with you 100% and have performed all of my brake jobs on all of my cars for the past 40 years. I trust the ex-factory Porsche mechanic with brakes and regret not having him install OEM pads and rotors when the car was in his shop for full services after sitting dormant for years.
The restorer shop does complex jobs like converting classic Barracudas to Hellcat powertrains with modern ABS and big brake kits, as well as full restoration on classic Mercedes-Benz, Porsches, and VWs. They looked competent. All of my metric tools were hundreds of miles away locked in a container.
The job was done worse than I thought because when cornering, noise from something contacting metal came from the left rear and a deep groove the width and location of one of the caliper pins is in the newly installed rotor after a 35-mile drive. My photo jpegs won't load here and manual attempts did not work. I'll remove the caliper and rotor and determine what has gone horribly wrong. There were no other issues with the car when delivered to the restorer and new tires and an alignment had just been done.
