Also, check your tire pressures. If you let other people do your tires they always do pressures stupidly high. Look at the door card, it's supposed to be 35psi cold in every tire. I run slightly higher on the street for economy and because I'm lazy and there's a big black marker for 2.5 bar (36.25 psi) on my tire gauge.
Higher pressures can induce oversteer, especially if the rear pressure is higher than the front pressure.

I was hoping it would go away after driving it around for a couple weeks, but it has not. I have not checked the tire pressure yet but unless they put over 40psi, I do not see how it would make the car slide all over. I usually run 35 psi and the last time I had work done to my car (different garage) they did fill it to 40 psi. Though even at 40 psi the car did not slip around like it is currently.
