Question type: Maintenance & Repair
I have a 2007 Saturn Vue hybrid and the timing chain is needing to be replaced. It broke. My dealership is quoting $4000-$8000 is there anywhere else I can obtain a second quote? Nothing else is wrong with the car. Excellent body and interior.
If the timing chain broke it could be that other damage happened at the time. Any time you get a diagnosis, require the dealer to give you specific information instead of general statements like "replace timing chain". As a customer, you are entitled to a clear description of the problem and the solution. A quote of $4000-$8000 could be anything and is past the likely value of the car. IOW, if you repaired it you couldn't sell it to break even. Avoid dealers who are taking obvious advantage of you in this way. Before you do anything else, get that detailed breakdown of what is wrong and what the solution is. A wide range of cost like that is worthless. A new engine would not cost $8000 including installation so that should be a red flag that the dealer is likely taking you for a ride. Call around, find a better service dealer, even a non GM dealership and have the car towed there.
