quick question
 

how much did you guys pay to have your timing belt done? I'm going to use my tax refund to help pay for it, and i wasn't sure how much extra it was going to cost.

Its not that hard, you should be able to do it yourself

ha ha ha ha thats funny. i can barely change my oil, let alone a timing belt.

buy a manual..roll up your sleeves and change that beesh....besides chicks that work on cars are the Hotness... :p

:fawk:

$150........

now i know its not that cheap. :fawk:

It really can be that cheap.. It all depends on what the shop charges per hour for labor. If you have a shop do it I would go to the honda dealership, get an oem belt, and then take it to the shop and have them install it. I bet that would save you some money cause the shops double the price on about everything they install... and you would have oem quality.

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

dealership probably costs the most

Don't you have any friends that would be willing to do it for you? Maybe for a case of beer and some lovin'?

I have seen prices range from $280 and up. :thumbup:

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.

my local dealership charges $400+ for timing belt and wp replacement. my bro had them done in his accord for $120 labor + parts ($80)

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

Yes, get the water pump changed as well. ;)

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.

I had it done on my old car for around $250 I believe (water pump replacement as well).

i got mine done for like under 300 (250$)? canadian including 14.5% tax. this included water pump around 54$ i think? and cost of belt and while they were in there, they checked around and fixed a few other things.

wow i didn't realize it would be so cheap. thanks guys

ok i came across my receipt, it was about 54 for the pump, 35 for the belt and 144 for the labour.i also had them change some fluids and stuff and it came up to 313 including 14.5% tax CAD

where is easton pa.?

in easton PA of course :chuckles:

i was going to say that if you were closer to the chambersburg area... i could fix yer car for ya... :)
