When you get it back, go over that thing with a fine-toothed comb. Look for unplugged electrical connectors, broken/missing/loose fasteners, unconnected vacuum hoses, missing covers, etc. I have to take mine in Monday for a main timing chain tensioner replacement (the chain rattles for a short while during warm start-ups). I have a lift, so I'll be removing the belly pan (and splitter) and taking copious pictures for post-repair comparison before it goes in for surgery. I know and trust the tech who'll be doing the work, but if you've ever been in a service bay, you know the techs rarely work on one vehicle at a time and multi-tasking can sometimes lead to missed/incompleted steps.
