If you're feeling a noticeable vibration on startup, it may be simply a misfire in 1 or more cylinders. If it smooths out quickly, a couple seconds, I wouldn't agonize over it. If the vibration continues for a lengthier period of time, you might check motor mounts.

In addition to the referrals you'll probably get here, you can also search this other site under the Nebraska tab for recommended shops near you. Good Luck, have fun with your car.
