    There's no way to know whether a fastener has been overtorqued (unless there's visible damage). So have your wrench check the carbon as well as the fasteners.

    How do they check the carbon?

    This isn't something I know much about, but if it was my frame I'd want it inspected the same as they might after a crash, except focused on the clamped and bolted areas. Careful visual inspection plus I think they might tap it to check for changes in the sound.
