yes. if you pay that, hold up this sign ~~~~~~~>:ripped:

97Acura3.0CL

acura charge 700 for a full change on the 105k tune up

thats the timing, all the belts, the fluids full flushed, oil change

and i cant remember the rest

thatz was a rip 97 3.0CL........damn......i paid 400 to get all my new belts on, UR pullies, and tuned. I did all the fluids myself for the price of the fuilds. all synthetic and whatever else i can get my hands on that was the best.

thats about right
about$100 for parts and $300 for labor

an acura dealership would charge $700 as forementioned

Acura3.0CL

WHAT!?! ONLY $700!?! Ive been quoted $1100 for my 105K service at an Acura Dealer!!!!! Is this not the going rate!?! Should i ask around elceware?

You can probably find it cheaper but it is still gonna be around that price. There's a lot of labor involved.

HyDrOpOnIkToKa

they replace the water pump and fluids with the one your thinking of

Stapler

they charge about 570 around here. After doing it myself... I think its worth the money.

Thats whats it runs around these parts too.

dallison

thats why i will trade in my cl before 100k and the timing belt i would not want to fuck with anyways

tiremanjd

I've changed mine twice and am almost ready to do it again (260,000+ miles)

ATLcl98

damn, 260k? Thats awesome. Yeah, $400 doesn't sound that bad since they replace the water pump as well. Labor costs are a biatch

okbye2

This is a 4 cyl right. I used to have a 91 GSX and they charged me $290.

ib_jimmy

How much yall think they gonna charge me to replace my timing belt, all the seal, water pump and install a under pulley?

wilp99

not the worst price but u could find cheaper. also make sure they change the balance shaft belt. it it breaks it makes the timing belt brake. they should do it all at the same time cause its all right there. i had a 93 eagle talon and the balance shaft belt broke it just vibrated really bad then i changed both belts myself.

Damn~... guess I'm just gonna go ahead and pay the $400... Its a little steep but at least get it over with...

Well.. thanx for the help guys.. appreciate it!
