so it would not matter if I already changed the oil and he performed his maintenance?
I ask because I am not mechanic and perhaps there is a certain order of things? like changing the oil as a last step after you have done a valve check?

I don't believe any oil is lost in the checking of valves, but maybe someone else with first hand knowledge can confirm that. I have not done a valve check on this bike, just others.

No oil is lost doing this procedure.
The owners manual for my '14 gives the owner permission to do his own oil and filter change so the dealer shouldn't have any problem with that.
If there are any questions from him show him the receipts for the correct products you used.
