Konnie.... run, don't walk, to another dealer. Of course there's numerous
possibilities for your engine problem but I feel it's really inappropriate
for a dealership service writer to begin speculating on the cause without a
tech having diagnosed it with all the tools at their disposal. The fact
that his first response tends to put the blame on you and suggests that the
fix will come out of your pocket is more than enough to deter me from
visiting that dealership.
