My 94 LS is at 110k miles and had been thinking about changing my timing belt a while ago since I thought it was due at 90k.

I checked with Acura yesterday and they said the first timing belt change from their standard schedule isn't until 120k. Their 120k schedule maintaince consist alot of things, which total up to around $1500 or so.

What do you guys think? Should I do this for $1500?

 

I would take care of the timing belt asap. That is one thing I would not risk delaying maintenance on.

Find out exactly what they are including. Also, most of this stuff you can do yourself and is really simple even if you don't have alot of automotive knowledge. You can also find a friend to help you out and teach you how to do the the work you don't know how to to do, which will save you a lot on the labor.

Ditto on the diy. CHanging spark plugs, rotating tires, etc are all very easy if you've got a friend with tools or tools yourself.

Dealerships will change maybe $40 in labour just to change some spark plugs which anyone with half a brain can do on their own for hte price of hte plugs (maybe 15ish bucks).

I'd do what you can, then take it in and let the dealership know what stuff doesn't need to be done because you've done it yourself and cut that bill in half.
