He needs to recheck the timing marks, and you need to invest in a mechanics bible. A haynes guide or a chiltons manual on your year model of honda. It will give you advice on how to find a better mechanic

Car sounds like I have a flat tire when driving, but all tires are fine and filled properly. The tires are wearing unevenly as well. They've replaced the engine mount (said it was vibrating too much) and nothing changed. Aligned it and nothing changed. Now they want to replace the compliance bushings, replace all the tires, and align them again. Would love to know what these symptoms can be attributed to (and if they've just been ripping me off!) 1 Answer

I checked online what the other signs of worn compliance bushings were (like a clunk when braking), but I've never had a clunk when braking.
