Narrative:
I do the walk-around on nose number XXXX flight to myr. I found several write-ups and in particular log xxxxxxx. Maintenance cleared as replaced fastener. Also; of concern is log xxxxxxy. Maintenance cleared as secured fastener. We then received a [maintenance release] and we flew to myr. After landing my first officer (first officer) performs the walk around and brings to me pictures of what he found. The two above write-ups still exist. The log xxxxxxy had aluminum tape sticking down. This fastener is on a corner and according to [maintenance control] must be fixed. Log xxxxxxx still had a missing fastener.I knew something did not feel right in ZZZ because of how quickly maintenance signed it off. This is blatant disregard for FAA regulations governing maintenance and maintenance documentation. The FAA needs to aggressively pursue this issue and hold individual(s) accountable.I have six years as an aircraft mechanic and fourteen years flying [company]'s airbus aircraft and without a doubt; ZZZ maintenance is the most unsafe maintenance organization I have ever witnessed.we have a full plane and I am certain our customers will question their judgment in purchasing a ticket on our airline again.
