The engine service interval? I wouldn't worry about it unless it's the check engine light.

Some of the local Jiffy Lubes also have the reset tool. ;)

doubtfull, they rarely even look under the car, the only way that I could imagine that they would is if they heard an exhaust leak, or you failed, and they wanted to check your cat
