FWIW- I've seen AoA pay 2 weeks worth of car payment when the shop had it for 2 weeks. Ask and see.

Default Was this "misfires at high rpms"?

valve seals?...springs? or they have no idea, so they are replacing the entire head?

Default No ticking , Slight misfire at idle. But the car ran great, and there was a slight coolant leak.

I brought the car for the coolant leak, and then came all this. The motor was already rebuilt once for the ticking.... FYI cam followers

If you read between the lines, what AOA is really saying is.... hire a lemon law attorney so we can be forced to buy back your vehicle and pay attorney fees.

Remember the lemon law is the most user friendly consumer law out there.
