They do check those things but its eithe just visual or a good shake.Brakes can be checked without removing wheels in most cases.When my wife had her Hyundai serviced by the dealer the wheels were retorqued with an air gun so tight I had to use a breaker bar and jump on it (105kg) to loosen them.when I chipped the service manager about this he seemed to think I was imagining it.I pointed out that 35 years in the motor trade had taught me probably more than he thought he knew
