Thanks for the input, all!

I've heard the beer suggestion a couple places -- are the techs actually allowed to drink while working on customer cars?! Would be awesome, but surprising. I definitely want to treat them any way I can (probably a cash tip too).

I'm still under the extended maint. warranty, so with the work being pretty much free and myself unqualified to do the valve adjustment specifically, I'm hoping to make the most of its time at the dealer . I should have gotten some magnetic drain plugs for the tranny and diff (instead of just the oil pan), and asked for them to return the originals, thereby guaranteeing the fluid changes.
