QUESTION: It shows t/c on the dashboard. the reset button is in the glove department, but that doesn't turn it off

Answer
Whoever did the work for you either accidentally knocked a wire loose or has other intentions of getting more money out of you to fix something that could have been avoided . I am NOT saying that the facility did any wire disconnecting while it was in the shop but there are dishonest people out there.

Look around in the engine compartment for something loose such as an electrical wire or wires.

It IS POSSIBLE that the person had to disconnect some wires in order to get the valve covers OFF and this would set these problems.

Drive the vehicle down to any AUTOZONE parts place and ask the counterperson to CLEAR YOUR CODES FROM THE COMPUTERS WITH HIS SCANNER which he will do for FREE and see if these problems are resolved.
