Theres a reason labor is free. I personally wouldent let a group of newbies mess with my car even if parts were free but.......

Have them check head lights they might need adjustment, service the differential, transmission, engine oil, flush brake system, cooling system and rotate tires. You can think of a million things to have them do but that just leaves a million thing to go wrong.
