Default Scary that at some point they gave you a new belt with an old tensioner

since its the failed tensioner that kills an otherwise perfectly serviceable belt. How many miles?

I agree. Maybe one blade left on that water pump.

Default my car now has 70k...I have a brand new water pump sitting in my garage...

I begged them to install it and they refused because I purchased it elsewhere.

Default *ding!* it isnt necessary to deal w/ the hassle of an improperly done job esp

when you have a corporate entity at your beck and call.

Dont argue/negotiate w/ the shop, tell insurance that you want your car in a A+ shape - no questions asked.

PS: I would also make the complaint about the top and rear window thru the insurance.
there is NO reason to accept shoddy workmanship.

I wish you the best with the car, sad to see a pleasant ownership exp., ruined by fools. gl!

Default Thanks everyone for your input!!! I have to say that the dealerships I've delt

with really don't seem to want to waste time with cars that are out of warranty.

I feel that my car is solid and runs well and everything is together mechanically.

I brought the car to a local tuner who will do thorough diagnostics on the car to determine what is wrong with it.

Hopefully, I'll have the car back in a couple days.
