Go to another garage. I don't think it's a coincidence that your "check engine" light came on after they changed your oil. The "check engine light" is a scam, in my opinion. It is very easy for someone knowledgable about cars (like a mechanic!) to get that light to come on. 

I would no longer trust this garage. Get a second opinion, just to play it safe.
