The mechanic says my 2004 Aveo timing belt is not working. It didn't tear. At first he said the timing belt can be replaced, he then told me that Aveos have a tendency to damage the motor and that I should try calling my dealership to see if I can get something out of them in case these vehicles were recalled for this problem (I bought it used, so I doubt I'll get anything).
He doesn't want to change my belt only to find out that my motor was damaged and that I'll need further repairs. Should I just sell my car at a junkyard?
My car stopped working while driving at 25mph. I just went to a store located one block away from my house. On the way back, I heard the timing belt doing a strange noise, that's what we believe it was the timing belt messing my motor.
