My car is at the 110k mark and my water pump is on its way out. Ive been calling around (honda dealership and a couple independent garages that have good reviews) and ive gotten quoted between 740-1000. I am handy with some stuff on the car but this isnt one of those i can do.

How much is everyone paying for the timing belt/water pump?

sounds about rite if your paying a mechanic to do it. dont forget about the timing belt tensioner.

I had my front crank seal, valve cover, front cam seal, water pump, timing belt, and oil pan gasket done all for about 640 from a local mechanic.

Well I did it through my Honda dealer I provided the parts they did the job for $250. My dealer always give me a very good discounts. I have 2001 Honda civic. Parts I paid for the complete kit $125 from ebay with all genuine parts that included: Water pump, timing belt, alternator & ac belt, power steering belt, valve cover gas kit. Hope this help.

Hmm i cant seem to find those prices around here. Im in CT. My brother had his 2001 civic done at this place nearby which included those other belts also for like 650 or 700. But a day after he got it back, he had a check engine light. He brought it back and they fixed it. Not too long after that his car went (190k). I know his ecu was fried and the alternator bolt was lose and possibly a sensor was damaged.

Idk if it was a coincidence or what but it makes me scared of who to trust with my car!

Well since I am in Chicago IL my brother come all the way from Michigan to service his Acura and Civic through my Honda dealer due to very competitive pricing. Normally dealer do charge a very high price but I have been going to this dealer for years now and that is the reason they give me super cool discounts such as $50 an hour for labor since timing belt is a 5 hour job that is why they charge me only $250 as I did provided parts myself.
