Lift up that side panel, turn the heat up all the way to fire the boiler, go down stairs in front of where the panel was, shut off the lights, and see if you can see any flame or light. It doesn't say what nozzle , filter , strainer, he used or anything he did. Did he actually brush the boiler pins, remove the smoke pipe, vacuum the breech and smoke pipe and inspect the chimney to make sure it wasn't blocked? there's no proof he did any of those things except what he told you.
I think the checkmarks indicate most everything was done.
But yeah, they usually always state what nozzle they put in.
It’s very odd technician said bolts were to rusted to remove.
They typically don’t remove that large plate, just the burner.

Dead River is good and fairly good size. I’d ask for someone more serious.

How long was it not serviced for?
Maybe it was so plugged up that a standard cleaning isn’t getting it all out.
