It may likely have to do with your recent visit to the shop. Depending on what recent is.. to some people that's a few weeks or months ago and to some even a year ago. What leaks were looked at or fixed? If it was valve covers, then there is a high likely hood that an ignition component has been disturbed and you have a misfire. You should first check your oil level and make sure it didn't all leak out. If they did your oil pan or something.. but yes, get it to your mechanic. And if there is no oil in it, have it towed.
