$1250? Are you sure you heard them right? Thats pretty steep. The dealer I work for is like half that and they do the water pump......
I just went to the acura dealership in indianapolis yesterday and bought a few parts (new valve cover gasket b/c i am getting mine powder coated) and i went to set up an appointment to get mine done next week. After they put it into the system i asked how much and they told me $1100 plus tax. So i called up the local honda dealership and they said they would do the timing belt and water pump for $660 for me. So i called back acura to tell them no thx b/c i knew they were way over priced and i got the service manager when i called and she was like what the heck, we should have never quoted you that high. So she talked to a few people at her shop and called me back and matched honda's price to get the timing belt and water pump done. But it's a shame how much the dealership likes to try to take advantage of 18 year old kids. It's just a timing belt i don't want to be responsible if it slips off or breaks shortly after i installed it so i figured might as well have the dealership do it just for the added insurance of its their fault if they fuck up.
