Question on timing belts
Hey everyone, I'm going to have the timing belt replaced on my car. Do you know roughly how much I'm going to end up spending? Thanks.

1. might depend on your type of car
Call an auto parts store. They should give you a price.

2. anywhere from 120 to 250 dollars
unless you know someone handy.It's a labor intense job.

3. A blood fortune
They have to rip the entire thing apart and put it together again - backwards.

If you're lucky they'll get it lined up right the third time.

4. The part is not expensive, but it's a labor-intensive job.
I'd say from $200-500 depending on the car and the mechanic.

6. Around 200 to 300
A hell of a lot less then a valve job if it breaks

7. Should have bought a car with a timing CHAIN.
They're noisy, but they last forever.
