Also, if you have a air filter like K & N or one
similiar to it; check it out before you leave. You
might have lost it to someone in the shop. I used to
have mine done at the local Wal-mart. Now I
completely do it myself or take it to a dealer and
watch what they do. I lost my K & N air filter at
Wal-mart. They said it was a throw away type and was
never meant to use over and over again. No
replacement from them.
