Cheap Chains or SoFla Shops For A Timing Belt?
7 years old and 105k on my 2001 so I know its def time for a timing belt. I shudder at the expense but this is one of the select things I just really dont wanna do myself despite not having $1000 to spend on it.
does anyone know of any chains that are cheaper than others on this, or perhaps any shops in SoFla that offer a deal? Cheapest I have found so far was $700 and change.

Check out CarTek in Davie

They have done work for my friends, fuzzy (on here) and I. Unfortunately I cannot remember how much they quoted me for timing belt, but I believe it was reasonable.

That seems waaaay too cheap if it includes parts.

The cheapest I was able to find before that was $621, and all the other Honda/Acura places were trying some b/s on the phone (like telling me I need to replace spark plug wires, which we don't have
). That was some scum bag at Acura of Pembroke Pines Service dept. BTW.

Alright, I got my Timing belt, Water Pump, and a couple of other things changed today at Cartek.
Pricing break down for timing belt and water pump for the rest of you locals goes like this:
Labor: $280 (for Timing belt, water pump and drive belts)
Timing Belt: $54.66
Water Pump: $125.89
Total: $460.55 w/o Tax & shop fee.
The job was done reasonably quick and the service was top notch. All parts were OEM and the car is running excellent as always.
