You may not necessarily expect it with every company, but it’s definitely your prerogative to make sure you understand what is going on with your equipment and you have the knowledge to make a good decision to have it fixed.

Most of the time, the most important thing is making sure you are only fixing things that need to be fixed and have a reference for what a fair price is.
