Problems with VITZ on CNG

Hello ... I have one running on CNG for 2002/03 Vitz last 1.5 years ... It was all very well to do, but last week it started vibrating at zero speed ... So should I put it in neutral otherwise used engine to stop .... So I checked out cars Nazir G-8 ... They told me there was a problem with finger followers and hydraulic tappets as it can not be changed, but the head must overhaul ..
3 days after I got my car back with all valves have been replaced and it cost me almost 14K to make .. a mechanic, with a normal car on CNG ... if I run my car on CNG to save money and at the end im spending 15K a year to repair, I think it's better to stick with gasoline ... In short, I advise not to use CNG as there is not much difference in the long term, you have to pay more
