Make sure you loosing your strings before taking off the neck! You can leave them on but loosen them so you have enough play to move the neck.
On the back of the neck base, sometimes there are markings or manufacturer stickers.
Guitar techs can be a bit of a joke. Usually it's just a guy who knows how to play guitar and use a screwdriver. The rest he is making up as he goes along or fixing with crude tools and wood glue and crappy soldering. Unless it's a reputable guy or a big store, that's what you often get.
