and that is a very good thing to do.. on top of everything else,

we tryed takeing off the belt and making it perfect but the tensiners seem to be striped and dont make the belt tight enough, now the car runs even worse then it did before, my baby is at the dealer now, they should be calling me tomorow

Eh. That doesn't sound good.

Wow! Good luck with your Aveo.

will call the dealer at 3 pm eastern time, im freaking out

good luck man hope it isnt too bad

the dealer just called they got the timing belt on right they said we are off on the intake side by one tooth, and that one of the cylinders has a bent valve, they are charging me 310$ for their exploration and belt adjustment. and its gona be 1900$ to fix the valve.

im picking up the car tonight and we will see whats gona happen next

$1900 is way too much. I wouldn't have them fix the belt being off a tooth since you need to pull the head off.

well they needed to adjust the belt back to normal to see if the car would idle right, and when it didn't they did a compression test.

so all i know now is its the intake side, im picking up the car now

ah. ok thats a little different, thought maybe they told you it was off one tooth and needed a valve but didnt touch it yet.

keep us posted, lmk if you want help locating parts.
