I'm just giving you things to expect. If they fix the other issues, you should be okay.
I'd change the oil as soon as I got it (so then you know when it was changed and what is in it, and do the wires and plugs (get aftermarket wires) - stop in if you get it...

Good way to lose your auto tranny as I did in my '01 at 81k. Every 30k alternate between a drain/fill and a full flush. This was told to me by the service mgr at my dealer when I questioned him about the crappy 41TE going out in my '01. No problem with my wife's '04 auto tranny with the alternating 30k schedule. The car now has almost 124k.
