If it's a pretty good shop that employees a few certified mechanics/maniacs that aren't afraid to fill up their fancy boxes with actual tools, they shouldn't get offended for you asking...if it does offend them, not a good sign, imo.
btw, there are 2 styles of tensioners, I think. One that requires a spring and new bolt [dealer items...Part Nos. W700001-S309/6L277] or the newer design that is pretty neat...no spring, just rotate till the marks line up.
