I just had some work done by my mechanic and he noticed that the timing belt was loose. He estimated 600$ for parts and labor. I have a 90' DA and I was wondering what other people have payed to have theirs replaced. I would do it myself, but I don't want to do something like that wrong, and I'm pretty sure I dont' have all the necessary tools.

So basically what I'm looking for is how much you payed and where you got it done.

And, as a long shot, would anyone be willing to do my timing belt in the milwaukee wisconsin area for like 100$?

 

Search before posting. There was a thread about 2 weeks ago discussing this.

Dealer= $900 roughly

Private=$300-$600

Yourself,=$200

 

Sorry, I saw that. I guess mostly I was wondering if anyone in the area would be willing to do it for cheap.

 

I paid $300 for all belts and my water pump to be replaced, parts and labor. I was too damn lazy to do it myself. Now that I have done it, I'll never pay for it again.

 

anyone in wisconsin willing to do this? will pay $$$

 

*bump*

 

250 for timing belt change that includes the belt and labor... any one in the austin texas area a good shop for repairs is
import auto center 837 6335

 

The going price is usually $250 from what Ive seen + parts from the tuner shops around here. The local ASE certified master Honda tech wanted $600, which is less than the dealership.

I wouldn't pay more than $300.

 

Would it be more expensive in the midwest?

i might be willing to do it. i did the t-belt on my old dsm, the biggest ********** of all engines to to timings belts on. ill have to ask my buddy for sure.

 

I've replaced my timing belt, water pump, and other applications that the dealer was offering for around $800+. The process took all day, but if you ask me I would pay little extra and have certified mechanic complete the works. Installing brakes and lowering spring is one thing but something like timing belt I would leave it to a qualified mechanic and sleep without having to worry the next day. My $0.02.

i have a year of automotive technology at technical school under my belt. im not certified yet, but i have finished an engine repair course.

 

Well, if you decide you can do it, name your price and i'll buy the parts.

 

i got my parts from an acura dealer ship timing belt and water pump for $123 and i just did it myself.

 

Just do it on your car. I did my DA last year when I broke it. Super easy. It was the first timeing belt I ever replaced and it was a success.

Does your car have A/C or P/S??

 

PMed you.

 

I have A/C... I'm not sure what P/S is tho. oh, power steering, duh, yeah i have that too.

PMed you back.

 

Its really simple to do. The hardest part is if you dont have a compressor. Cause the crank pully is usually stuck on there really good. Also I dont know where the A/c is on the car but shouldnt be that hard. Also when I did it, it took a couple of times lining the cam sprockets up but I eventually got it.

Also dont lose the key for the crankpully.
