Thanks for the response. I had these things in my mind. What I'm worried more about is the parts (spark plugs etc) and fluids protection. I have recently changed engine oil.

Yes things are stolen or replaced at workshops. New spark plugs from my friend's car were exchanged with old ones while his car was at the workshop. Allah tawakkal hi hai sub kuch.

Itny tension hai to you should visit the workshop daily to keep a follow up on the work being done.

This way you can keep a check if they working on the rear fender, why is the bonnet open.

Yes change of parts is very common. I gave my Cultus to Suzuki in 2022 for bonnet repair job, later I came to know rear bumper lights were not working on close inspection the wires were disconnected. They probably replaced the rear bumper with another car in haste.
