How should I accurately diagnose car problem?—By taxman
My mom is elderly and is always getting the “shaft” from so called Mr. Goodwrench. Her local gas station claims that her 1995 Buick needs a new valve. Cost to replace and install: $1900! So, she declined and took my advice and towed it to her home where it now sits.

I use the Sportster 5 and boombox at home (which I love), but I also wanted to have a device ...

My suggestion would be to have a static AND a running compression test done to the vehicle. If one cylinder is quite a bit lower than the others, chances are pretty good the engine has a bad valve. The repair estimate does sound very high, so I would definitely get a second opinion! HTH!!

If you feel the dealer is giving you the shaft take it to a different dealership, bite the bullet and pay the diagnostic fee. You may find that the first place was right on the money. Dealerships have a ton of very specialized, very expensive equipment designed to help them diagnose most any issue. Sure they make mistakes from time to time, as does anyone, but overall the dealership is your best bet. Maybe the first on IS giving you the shaft, maybe they are right on. Conclusion jumping is never a good thing.

Now that you are a auto tech, you wanna fix it??? good luck with that!!!
I’m always getting “shafted” by people like you, people like you want me to diagnose your problem which may take hours, for free so you can bargan shop….you get what you deserve…GOD will see to that.
I see bill “the pool guy” says Listening can tell… Ludicris!
If the valve is stuck or burnt it might make no tell tell sounds.
the only way to tell is to do a compression check which means haveing the right equipment and the knowledge to use it and haveing the time to do it…a “good” mechanic stays quite busy.
