Default Recommend a place for me to get my timing belt replaced? (So Cal)

Can anyone recommend a place for me to get my D16Y8 Civic's timing belt replaced in the So Cal area? I'm not too confident I could change this on my own.

its a pretty easy task. but if you dont want to or unable to to it yourself take it to the honda dealership to get honda oem parts installed and a qualified trained technician to do it right. i wouldnt trust a side shop to do it since they dont specialize on hondas.

So you guys recommend only taking it to a dealer? Are they all pretty much the same in terms of quality and price?

price will be somewhat around the same price from place to place. quality should be pretty much identical since there specialists

Christ.....

Please tell me this is a Joke.

TB WP and Tensioner only take about an hour to replace on that engine, and its easier than stepping in dogshit. I wish something this simple was the least of my worries right now. Find someone on the board to do it. If I lived around there, I'd do it for you about 20 times cheaper than a shop, let alone the dealer.

If you can't change your own oil on your car, you shouldn't be on this forum. I miss the days when people had legitimate question.

Go buy a manual for 15 bucks, and read it. These are by far the EASIEST cars in the world to work on.
