Anyone in the Nashville, TN area with experience on '00 TL timing belt? I know it can be a DIY, but I honestly have no clue where to start. And I'm not comfortable with my lack of skill to take it on by myself. It'd probably take me a week to do it alone. I don't have that kind of time -- a whole weekend (Sat and Sun) would even be too long, really. But maybe one whole day would work.

 

if you know the charlotte pk, whitebridge road area there is a little shop right next to the kroger that specializes on honda/toyota cars. he is really reasonable with his prices as well

 

I know where that is. Do you know the name of the shop, or just what it's near? I can look it up if you're not sure.

 

It called bradley's import service

 

Nice, thanks a lot. I'll give them a call when I have a minute and get a quote.

 

np bud good luck

 

They're supposed to call me back, the guy that does pricing I guess wasn't in there when I called. I called one other place too but they were having technical difficulties. Haha. I'll figure it out though!

 

UPDATE:

I called Bradley's and for the timing belt alone, the price is $530 plus tax. With water pump, about $750 plus tax. I called another local import shop and they quoted belt + water pump at about $900, including tax. Bradley's comes out to about $75 less with tax.

Surely I can get it done for less?! That's a lot. That's about as much as the total payments I've made on the vehicle so far. Hahaha.

 

besides legitimate dealer shops i don't know anywhere else that i would trust to do it

 

It's cool, I'll do some more research and figure it out. Chances are I'll go with Bradley's.

 

timing belt's are expensive i think it'd be hard to find it cheaper. but he does good work who won't skimp you and it'll be done right
