The Neos is a good derailleur .. the fact that it can ride smooth for a few days after an LBS adjustment is a clue.. so I'd be looking at what can change over time.. generally, cables need time to bed in.. folding/unfolding puts strain on outer and inner cable.. my guess would be that the cable adjustment is loosening over time.. so either have the LBS show you what they are doing for 'adjustments' or go to any number of sites showing how to adjust derailleur/cables after new bike purchase.. a Dahon 7 speed should be pretty easy to keep in adjustment..
