If your check engine light was on, it will set a stored code in the computer. That will tell the shop what system is malfunctioning. In knowing the code and pairing that information with your symptoms, the shop should easily find the problem and correct it. (or, if it's something simple, you could do that as well, depending upon your skill level)
