Its not too bad, but the problem is trying to get that ticking sound to come up at the dealer That could take some time

The ticking noise mostly comes up in cars that do not get driven long distances everyday. Short commutes does not give the engine enough time to circulate the oil up into the upper chambers of the engine where its needed to lubricate the lifters.
This is going to be hard for the dealer to detect since they are about 15 highway miles away =(
