I just had the 90,000 maintenace and front brakes done and asked the mechanics to pinpoint a rattling noise. They diagnosed the alternator, replaced that, and upon pickup it still was making the noise. They then diagnosed a belt tensioner. They ordered the part. When I brought it back in for that to be repalced, they subsequently said it was not that but the air conditioner compressor. Is that even possible to make a noise when the air isn't on. I don't feel they are misleading me, I've taken the car to them for years but the diagnosis seems a little odd as well as expensive.
