The best practice for leak detection is to ALWAYS ask the homeowner if
they would like the leak found. "Gas-n-Go' does a disservice to the
homeowner, the industry, and the environment. Most shops have an
electronic leak detector such as this one available:

By the way - my experience is that most leaks are from service valves,
either because the valve core is loose or because the core was damaged
by improper installation. A good set of valve caps can solve that
problem for a few bucks. The tech should check there first.
