The mechanic is somewhat correct, a mirror does help but is not needed. You cannot see the timing mark from the wheel well. A flashlight, not a trouble light, will be easier to use. The timing mark on the crank faces the engine (!) and is just a small notch. Once you see it, you will understand and then PAINT it.
Remember, when turning the crank by hand, look for the mark when the cams are getting into position. You may have to go another 360 degrees for the mark to come up to the top.
