Dealership told me my car needed new lifters due to sludge build up
Just got back from a third party ASE-certified garage where they said there was no sludge at all and even flushed it, done a synthetic oil change, new valve gasket cover, and some other stuff.
I am now confused. The dealer told me the loud ticking noise from the engine was the lifters 100% due to sludge buildup. But this shop and Auto Zone (check engine line print out) say the ticking noise is coming from something in the pic related range.
Why did the dealership try to scam me? If it is the timing belt, my extended warranty covers it. Was the mechanic who diagnosed it just retarded or is this greed coming from upper management at the dealer? I have all the paperwork and I don't know if I should take it to the original dealer tomorrow and present all this evidence or just take it to another dealer.
Shocked either way.

Because that's their job? Have been living under a rock?

Try a different dealership.

>>17566618
What shocks me the most is if I paid the $1,300 the dealer was wanting for new lifters, the noise would have still been there. I would've wasted $1,300. And they explicitly told me that severe SLUDGE BUILDUP was the cause for the noisy lifters. But this garage just told me the car had zero sludge at all. I have a receipt with all the work from this garage too.
>>17566623
I didn't know it was a real meme. I've heard of shady dealerships, but this takes it a whole new level.
>>17566626
I am, right after I take it there first thing in the morning and show them motherfuckers that they are liars and I tell them my online reviews will feature all of this along with receipts and their diagnoses.
I'm afraid that if they do work on this, since timing belt is covered by extended warranty, they will fuck it up again or come up with some other bullshit reason like sludge so that the warranty company won't pay for it to make me pay for it.
What I don't understand is, if it really was the lifters, the warranty company would have paid the dealer to replace all of it. But they said sludge was the cause so I was going to foot the bill.

Hello /o/ Recently my 2002 Chrysler 300m was backed into and left a gnarly dent and scratches on the Driver side Rear door. The other persons insurance claims liability and they want me to take it to one of their repair shops. What I want to know is how do I get them to just cut me a check. The car has 155,000 miles and I would rather run this car into the ground another year and get a check to put down on another car in a year. Is there a way I can do that is my question. Thank you for your time

Post pictures of damage, if it's not too bad should have just asked for 5-800 bucks depending how bad
>>
You HAVE to bring it to a shop before they can claim it's been damaged enough for the worth of the car to be considered.
As for taking it to one of THEIR shops? That's weird. I would demand to take it to a Chrysler dealer shop cuz they're more likely to say it's totalted.

So I'm switching careers soon and need a vehicle to suit. I currently do tree work for ~30k/y and drive a Miata to work. I just managed to get a gravy job supervising railroad work around the country for ~80k/y starting and the Miata won't cut it. I'll probably buy new from a stealership but don't know what I want. They didn't say I needed a specific kind of vehicle but I want something 4x4 that I can put slightly larger tires under (no lift) and that is comfortable enough that possible 12hr days won't suck ass. Reliability is most important Auto or manual doesn't matter, engine size doesn't matter, mpg doesn't matter (they pay .50+ per mile and $100 per day for a hotel). I was thinking possibly a Forerunner but the reviews look shitty on them.

Frontier Pro-4x with a 6-speed manual.

>>17564426
Hey Panda love your Miat. Haven't really heard anything about the Frontiers besides "Nissan a shit". Interiors usually suck on light duty trucks are those pretty decent?
>>
>>17564442
Their interiors are their weakest part actually.
Their strengths are: smallish size, manual 4x4, optional manual 6-speed, great-sounding VQ-series 4L engine, and availablility of parts.
