getting the timing belt done.

$470 :eek3: with an oil change.

i tried finding a cheaper garage, but they all are shady, and i trust the guys at our STS with my life.

so yeah, there goes my tax refund. now i just need to come up with the money for the other 101 things wrong with my car

 

:eek4:
i paid $150 plus parts to have it done and felt like i was paying too much h:

 

dahm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !

 

funny thing is, i just told my friend and she goes, "thats not bad"

 

funny thing is $470. someone came off for the week.

 

I'll come do it for $100 + air fare, drinks, food, and lodging. h:

 

i would have done it and i'm in PA

you could have fed me and put me up in a hotel for one night for less than that

 

why not just bust out a drive way special. Buy the stuff and do it yourself. Borrow some tools if you sont have them.

 

OMG, ripoff...my mechanic charged 170 for belt and water pump...
also, a d15b7 from hmotorsonline is 435..

 

I think it was like $40 something for the OEM timing belt, and then I myself chose to pay $90 for the tool Moroso sells that helps you get the crankshaft bolt off. I did the timing belt job myself. It's really not so bad. I think it's mostly just the crankshaft pully bolt that scares people.
