It's hard to say what you have waiting for you. The skeptic in me based on past dealings with mechanics is that they will say the work they performed was done correctly and some other factor is responsible. The truth is nearly impossible for you to determine.
It is quite possible however that they will acknowledge a short coming in the work they did and you could drive away a happy man. I hope so.
I have a similar problem that I will find out about tomorrow.
Took my car in about a month ago for a brake job and a steering problem. Both of those issues were resolved at a good price and I'm happy with the repair.
As I drove the car away the check engine light was on. I called first thing in the morning to let them know and they promptly made me an appointment and checked it out.
Turns out a vacuum line had sprung a leak and they need about $350 to solve the problem.
It was kind of suspicious to me that it popped up right when they were working on my car but whatever. What can I say.
I just picked up the car after the repair and the engine light is still on. I checked the codes and they are the same as before the repair.
I dropped it off tonight so I'm waiting to see what they say tomorrow. If they claim new codes are showing up it's pretty clear to me that they are not dealing with me in an honest manner. I'll take my buisness elsewhere.
