Talking New Guy on the block

Hey everyone

Just registered before I'm about to go pick up my new car! 07' TL Type-S. It has high mileage (100k) so I plan on doing the timing belt asap. Received a quote from David Mac David Honda for $800. I remember reading that it was good to do water pump at the same time too...well anyways. Hi!! ^_^

Thanks again for the warm welcome. But now I must leave you, putting the car up for sale as I'm moving to Japan. Wish I could post it here on the website but I'm not allowed to. Long overdue pic though!

Welcome! I did the job on my MDX and it took all day. For parts and labor $800 does not seem unreasonable at all. But yeah it is costly and not something a DIY could not handle.

But 100K really isn't high mileage for this car. Get that belt and some new plugs in there, she'll run like new.
