Its time to chance my timing belt...the dealer seems expensive. Has anyone had their timing belt service by a dealer recently? If so can you tell me what exactly they did? Maybe read it off the recipt and post here? I need the entire list of things they changed with the service so I can go around and look for a better deal. Thanks for the help.

 

Suggest at least the timing belt, tensioner, and water pump be replaced. Tensioner and water pump are readily accessed for timing belt service, and very expensive to perform if needed later.

good luck

The dealership wanted around $1200 to just do the timing belt itself. I found the needed parts: timing belt, drive belts (standard and power steering), tensioner, idler, water pump and gasket, two cam seals (for the V6) and the crank seal for $300 shipped from drive wire, and my local shop charges 5 hours labor at around $65, so $625 including the water pump. Good Year quoted me $900 with their inflated labor and parts mark up.
