Sad Day
So lately my car would be making a little ticking noise by the intake valve and today the car would make some nast noise in the enginw like a *clack clunk clack* so the car left me stranded infront of some mechanics shop so he checked ir out and said supposedly my pistons were gone but i doubt that was the deal he tried charging me 1800$ but i was like nah dude so now the car wont start but it cranks,any idea on what could it be? Its a loud noise it makes,i really dont want to junk the car :/

I would start by doing a compression check.
Tell us what you have - what year and which engine. |

Also he checked something by the front right tire he jacked up the car and used a long wrench and told me my engine had moved and that it was cracked he tried telling me my car is dead but i honestly dont believe him

Running a compression test as Dennis said will tell you what you need to know regarding repair cost. If there is no compression, then $1,800 is probably about right.
|
Try taking it to a different mechanic, just in case.

But if you don't trust the guy, take the car to another mechanic like AzureblueZ said. |
That kind of noise you hearing, very real possibility that your engine is done for. how many miles on the odo?
|
check the oil...see any glitter in it?
when you crank the car via starter does it sound different? how's that timing belt doing? |
