I bet it'll cost 150-300ish depending where you go.

dealership probably costs the most

should i get the pump there too? i would never take it to a dealership to get it done.

spood- maybe something small, but not my timing belt.

Ya you can get the pump too.. It all depends on how much you want to spend. oem parts retail for more money, but the shops usually jack up the prices on things that they purchase for you. I'm guessing it would be similar prices to buy your own oem parts and have a shop install them, it's just whether or not you want to make that extra trip to the dealership to get the parts. OEM quality is superior

now all i have to do is find a shop that will let me bring my own parts. i know a few around here won't do it unless its their own stuff. i don't mind picking up stuff at the dealership, but there is no way in hell i'll let them do it. the one here is horrible.
