Good habits for your car
Listen for new noises and mention them to the shop with as much detail as you can. Replace wiper blades when they streak; it matters in rain and snow. Clear snow off the whole car, roof included, before you drive.
Getting a clear quote
Ask whether anything else is close to needing attention, and how soon. Ask if the shop needs the car for a full day or only a few hours. If you want to see the old parts, ask for them back.
