This is also true @Triple Jim @Ralgha, perhaps a second opinion should be my next move. Definitely going to have to start learning to do some more self maintenance besides oil changes and that. But yes he basically just pointed out the sound. I asked if he opened the chassis he said no but upon completion of service and during checks he mentioned he could "tell" that the cam chain needed replacing due to his years of experience and the sound it produced. As mentioned above surely checking and adjusting the tensioner should be first resort, I honestly didn't realise it has a manual tensioner such as the common chain and sprocket.
