I encourage you to try doing them yourself. I havent tried doing any of these new coil on plug type ignition systems. But plugs are the the easyest thing to do on a car.

The good part is that if you become confident at pulling the plugs, They serve as a "window" as to whats happening inside the combustion chamber. http://www.aa1car.com/library/reading_spark_plugs.jpg But I really dont think that at 33kms anything should be happening like that. the car is still under waranty for gods sake

If it starts acting up take it in for a warranty repair at the dealership. Be firm with them and tell them what it is your expecting. dont let these "mechanics" walk all over you, nothing pisses me off more than being talked down to, especially at a car shop or watching someone else get talked down to, I actually had a Firestone mechanic talk down at me one time WHILE I WAS WEARING MY REPUBLIC AIRWAYS MECHANIC UNIFORM! it was quite insulting.
