Last time I went to a quick change place was somewhere around 1992. The wife and I had just been married for about a year or two. We gave them the keys and waited for the 10 or 15 minutes it took. They came in and said the air filter should be changed. I knew what they were aiming at, but I said go ahead. Afterward we paid and left. Got to the end of the parking lot and the engine died. Started up and it died again. Went back and told them about it. They told me something like the engine problem was because of the old air filter being clogged. Long story short: that's your problem buddy.
I left and got on the road. Engine would only run when I had my foot on the pedal. As soon as I let up and it went to idle it would die. I popped the hood and had my wife start it and run it while I listened. Simple....they had knocked a vacuum hose loose. Reconnected, end of problem.
So, I do all my own maintenance from that day to this. If it is something beyond my tools, expertise or time available, I take it to the best mechanic in town.
