    There is a thread out there with a list of things you should look out for but the ones that seem to be the most important are:
    Transmission fluid level if its auto
    Grease the Ujoints if its a 4x4
    Torque the driveshaft bolts
    Check the hood to see if the skin has separated or is missing adhesive with the brace.
    Thats all i can think of now but there are other issues that other owners have experienced.

    Hard part is getting them to actually check it and perform the procedure correctly. Several threads discussing it here. Search around you'll see them.
