You can go to any dealership for warranty work. You are perfectly within your rights to do so and the only problem would be if the new dealership agrees with the old one that there isn't a problem.

As for your problem, most would describe the sound this car makes as 'ticking' so you'd have to post up video for more concrete solutions, or even acknowledgment that something is wrong. The car ticks, it's normal. You may not have heard it due to the chirps, I don't know but until you post a video you're not going to get much sympathy.

We're not making assumptions. We're making decisions based on prior experiences of poor work done in the past at dealerships/shops employing people like you. There are horror stories abound, even on this forum on a car so new:

I had a nice little rant going, but I don't think it's necessary. Simply put I've had more bad experiences with mechanics than good ones when it comes to getting work done on family/friends vehicles (I've only had 3 jobs performed by someone other than me; replacing a windshield, rebuilding a driveshaft, and mounting tires, they went well). There are some fantastic apples in the bunch, but it only takes a few to ruin the bushel. Sounds like you've got a good place to work, enjoy it and try and stay there as long as you can, it's easy to get jaded about any industry.
