@lennonade23 stop driving it unless they already told you the motor was garbage. dont even start it, have it towed to a SHOP. If you take anything to a dealer you can expect to pay the maximum amounted dollar regardless the skill of the hand that fixes it.its probably skipped a tooth or two on a cam and you are in supreme danger of catastrophically destroying your motor. As of this second. your repair could be fixed by any decent mechanic for under half of what you were quoted, and i guarantee an entire timing set could be obtained for that for under $200. The unfortunate truth about this job is this, and only this: If you arent doing the repair yourself, the labor involved is going to be 80% or more of the bill(and this is the perfect job to give you a real life example of a dollar part, with a grand of labor, and will persuade your buying decisions later in life, as well as give appreciation to the guy who gets jobs like this). rather you swap it with a new motor, or repair yours, the difference in labor on both should be pretty negligable. If you have access to a garage, are mechanically inclined even just a little and wanna spend 140$ of the dealerships LOL quote on something youll use for the rest of your life, and gain some extremely invaluable knowledge, get on a motor picker (and load balancer!) from HFTools (20% off coupon, as always, utilize) and a service manual for your car. Grab some beers, sockets and wrenches, and an equivilent and or more knowledgeable buddy (I STRESS, IF YOU ARE SCATTY, just go SOLO taking NOTES AND PICS(ziplocs and sharpies are the man!), BUT NEVER EVER EVER INVITE SOME REAL DUMB ASS or SOMEONE WITH A NON-SOCIALABLE DRUG PROBLEM (like Xanax, or heroin, anything pretty obvious, these would be the people lifting your car off your face in an emergency lol) FOR MUSCLE!!! You can utilize your brain enough to be worth 4 of those people.CONCENTRATION is a virtue when dealing with timing components but id bet you could fairly easy get to the problem area, litterally order the snapped guide for x dollars off of ebay, put the chain where its supposed to go, replace the guide, and seal it back up in under a weekend. check the papers u got from the stealership for the "Labor" hours, and expect yourself to take at least 150% that amount of time. The feeling you will have when your done is a life changing and mind opening experience!!!As an owner/mechanic, the only way we really get a raise is by learning how to beat this alotted time, just a fun fact haha. Whichever route you take, I wish you the best for sure, but understand if you take this (OR ANY) car to a dealership for mechanical work, you ARE going to get charged the max, its alot easier for them to find you a new motor, and charge you "book price" billed at whatever phenominal rate for X amount of predetermined hours than it is to find (and PAY) an experienced mechanic, because these people just hardly ever wanna work with a dishonest place like stealerships. Myself included. Watching the 100s of thousands of "ignorant" hard earned dollars makes you sick!
