@ $160 with shipping, and then some time.. will need a valve spring compressor, should be able to get one free from napa or advance with a deposit, or buy one for $25..

keep in mind thats the cheapest, if the valve seat is ok option.


i believe its only the intake valves that are damaged

Once you open it up you can always see what is damaged but $2000 was a ridiculous amount of money for the dealer to fix it

the aveo is fixed and runs better then it did new

all that was off was the timing, the dealer lied about adjusting it, and lied about low compression, and wanted to rip me off, i checked it my self and the compression is 180 across the board.

so i drove back to the dealership, ripped a new asshole to the manager, shop foreman, and the bitch who "worked" on my car the first time, with in 1 hour the car was runing great

Haha. And you were going to buy a new car. Bet they wanted to get you to trade it in so they could have it cheap for themselves!!

Good to hear though. This is why I do everything myself.
