My tl broke down driving from va beach to dc saturday on 64 between richmond and williamsburg. The shop aaa towed it to said they cant work on it cuz theyre a bunch of idiots, but atleast they didnt fuck it up any worse than it already is haha. Anyways its most likely got to do with valves and cams, kinda sounds like an aluminium can is rattling around in my engine when you try to start it. I know its a super long shot but I wanted to know if anyone could recommend a shop or what to do. Oh and it didnt shoot any CELs either when it broke down.

 

1. How many miles on the car?
2. If >100k miles, has the timing belt ever been changed?
