Why is it that every noise or white smoke or rough idle or empty windshield cleaner or burnt light bulb or worn tire is diagnosed as an impending IMS explosion?

That ticking noise could be anything from a sticking valve or lifter to an accessory belt issue to a loose exhaust manifold bolt or whatever. Sounds to me like this 'salesman' is in negotiating mode. A more thorough check than putting your ear to the side of the car has to be done. What kind of shop is this that they can't do a better diagnoses on a car that is being traded in?
