Like when I go to Jiffy Lube and they tell me I need new brakes and I don't trust or believe them, I'd say "I'll go see my own mechanic for an opinion."
It doesn't mean I have a mechanic on retainer; just that I will take the vehicle to someone else of my choosing to evaluate it, or someone I already have a relationship with, like maybe the mechanics that did the annual inspection and looked at the brakes 4 months ago.
What's more disturbing is that you can stop the coroner and say "no no, you have to use XYZ person WE want you to use," and not raise any red flags and actually get compliance from the authorities.
I think it's a figure of speech.
