Should I be worried at this point that the car could have bigger issues, or just assume they dont know how to work on this type of car and are smart for sending it to the "experts"
Is it possible the car has a catless header installed? The prior owner might have reflashed the stock tune before selling. In that case, replacing the O2 sensor wouldn't fix the CEL. The only fixes would be either getting a tune or installing a stock header.

Just a thought.
