My mechanic was doing some suspension work in the front and accidentally touched and sparked the lead wire on the starter when his steel pry bar made contact with it and the frame. Everything works fine and all but im paranoid. NE thing to worry about?

no, but, your mechanic should know that when working around the alternator and/or starter, the negative battery terminal should be removed.

he basically shorted the battery. it's most likely fine, it would have blown a larger fuseable link.
