What ever you do do not come to the service depart...

What ever you do do not come to the service department I brought my Kia Optima SX in for a diagnosis they told me it would take an hour and would cost me 93 dollars which is fine if they actually did any work to my car, I let the service advisor know that I'm also a mechanic but I work on Honda and American cars I don't usually get in kias so I have a great understanding about cars and how to repair them I told them all of the things I recently replaced like both cam sensors throttle body and gas peddle. They told me it needed a throttle body and map sensor .... but I already replaced one of thoes and the other won't keep the car from running. I told him that and he said another tech says it could be a stripped timing gear key on the crank which makes absolutely no sense because the motor would be horribly out of time and when the pistons hit the valves it would no longer turn over he suggested to go ahead with that second hour I told him to reprogram the computer while there in there they could not do that so I complained and they gave me a break kind of when I got my paperwork back upon paying for my car it says the engine is out of time and needs a new engine well I'll tell you I'm digging into the timing on the car and everything like the dampener pulley is seized on for being on for many miles which tells me for sure they didn't check the timing to see if it was out of time because they would have had to pull the dampener pully off and cover off to check to see if the marks lined up they also tried telling me that the timing belt was crack along the backside but two days before I brought the Kia to them we had the talk timing belt cover off to watch the timing belt spent over while turning over the motor about work perfectly fine with no cracks whatsoever ......

I figured after telling them I was a mechanic they wouldn't run me threw the ringer like a blond hair women lmfao not satisfied

OK so at this point it has been about two or three days since I got my car from the kia, my paperwork says that my engine is mechanically out of time I went ahead and brought the car into my shop on my own free time and started taking everything off to get down to the timing belt upon further inspection everything was seized on as they usually are when they have been on for many miles and nothing was recently taken off plus once I got down to the timing belt everything was 100% dead on with no fails or issues I call the Kia dealer and spoke with the service manager and he says the paperwork said the mechanic never open the engine only checked timing by a scan tool which is not always accurate and mechanics intuition I guess because it backfired through the intake so he just assumed it was out of time there was nothing they could do for me like come on you said the engines out of time I have it on video where the engine is perfectly in time and 100% you think they would give my money back...
