I have a 1995 Nissan Maxima. My daughter drove the car, parked it and when she tried to start it in the am, it would not start. It just keep turning over with no spark. I was told by one shop that the motor had to be replaced as the timing belt was gone and it was a zero tollerance motor, when another shop told me that it was NOT a zero tollerance motor and the engine was not damaged. I was quoted a price of $750. to replace the time belt. Now my question is; is it a zero tollerance motor or not. Is that a good price quoted to me for fixing the time belt or not? This is through a mechanic that quoted me the price to fix it not a car dealership. I am confussed. does that sound normal to shut off the car at night and not have it start in the am. The belt is still attached to the motor. Should it not be broke? Help.
