[QUOTE="TexSolo, post: 23842, member: 5651"] Hi all, I got a repair estimate from a chevy dealer and my head melted. I had some noise while driiving/accelerating so took it in. Got quoted about $2700 for timing chain issues, and another $1500 for various upkeep things. A quick google search says timing chain replacment is about $1000. Am I crazy or getting taken advantaged of? I was considering a new car before this, but the repairs would be about what a recent Carvana trade-in/sell price would be. The car has about 140K miles. I still need to drive it for various needs, but nervous about the sounds, as it definitely is noisy. I had the noise a few months ago and read about going to get a oil change, which I did and the noise disappeared but came back recently a few months later. Would love any thoughts on this. TIA EDIT: I'll also add I haven't had any error codes or check engine lights come on. It's a 2016 L or LT with a 4 cyl engine. It also is starting to lurch a little bit when I'm coming to a stop, but as yet has not died. [/QUOTE]
