I had my car in shop in Dec and again in March. I had a tuneup done with spark plugs changed, transmission fluid flushed, cooling system repaird with the valves replaces and hoses, oil change as coolant was in oil, alignment, wheel hubs replaced, frame kit installed and front and rear struts done. Then I start car this morning and the engine is vibrating a lot and a loud noise is coming from engine when I put car in reverse. The check engine light came on as well. It drove fine yesterday.
Please help as I have spent over 3700 on the car this year and I don't have money to spend on it again.

The guy who charged the 3700.00 should be more than willing to take care of this, however, you need to get the codes read, autozone will do it free, then post the result!

Are you talking about the codes for the check engine light message? I am not sure I want to go back to that mechanic.

First thing you need to do is have the codes read, Autozone does it free, Post the results with the code number(s). Even if the service engine light is not on, there should be freeze frame data stored.
If it won't make it to Autozone, buy a cheap scanner, they can be had for 30-40 dollars, a good investment, since they cover all cars sold in the USA from 96 on.
