Well sir, I'm pretty sure the 2.4L uses a timing CHAIN not BELT... if it started once after having this problem then I highly doubt the chain snapped... if the chain snapped and you tried starting the engine you would hear a lot of violent metal on metal contact.. Mechanic sounds like he's trying to screw you..

Is there any way you can take a video of what you're experiencing?? Does the engine turn over when you try starting it? Do you hear any irregular noises?
