I have had the worst luck with my 03 Tiburon ever since I bought it. I
bought it pre-owned and discovered that the warranty doesn't cover
much. I had to replace the clutch and flywheel shortly after purchase.
I went with aftermarket parts. 2 months later I had to replace the
transmission due to damage from the original clutch failure. Now the
car will not crank once again, to me and others who have heard the car
it sounds like the starter... but after going through 3 different
starters from Advance and AutoZone but the problem persist. One you
turn the ignition it sounds like the engine wants to turn over but the
bendix drive is not catching the flywheel.. I am out of options and
forced to once again tow this car back to the dealership. Any ideas on
what could be wrong before I shell out more money with the dealer?
Thanks.

I have one of those Auto Zone starters on my Elantra I have changed it 4
times. One thing, MAKE sure the battery cables are tight I had to shim
the post straps Have someone check for 12 Volts on the solinoid (small
wire) when you try & start it

what do people have with going to the dealer and getting the work done once
and proper.
the only person who works on my Santa Fe is my dealer no one else.
No problem, best prices.

Many dealers do a great job and are a good place to take your car. Dealers
are almost always the most expensive alternative though. Equally, there are
many more good, knowledgeable and reliable independents in any given area
than there are good dealer shops and they are significantly cheaper.
Finally, there is a world of us who do our own repairs - the cheapest of all
alternatives. Most of us fix it right the first time too.

Even dealers suffer from "bugs" that elude a quick and proper repair. It's
not a function of buying aftermarket parts or using other than dealer
service techs. The aftermarket is a very advanced part of the automotive
parts supply chain, many times offering parts that are superior in every way
to the OEM parts.

So, in answer to your question - there are many reasons not to go to the
dealer. For those who take a confidence in the dealer, then great - go
there. For others, there's a ton of very valid reasons not to go to the
dealer.
