How much have people paid or seen that the dealership charges to do a timing belt job on a 99 civic?

 

A lot. It's a bunch of work to do a timing belt job, and it's going to be expensive. I wouldn't expect a dime less than 500, if that cheap.

 

i have a friend that works at the dealership, i can ask him. I will get back to you. Although i am sure someone will beat me to it. lol

 

My friend just had the timing belt changed on his 97 Prelude for $900. Should be around the same for a Civic.

 

Timing belt and water pump Write up --> https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=649277

I learned to do it myself because honda rapes you for labor...

Buy a Helms and honda will hardly ever have to do anything for you...

 

Its not that hard to do. Do it yourself and have some fun working on the car. I cant stand other shops working on my car.

Not the same because Preludes run off auto tensioners and are more of a pain to change. For a Single cam civic dont be suprised to pay 500 for just the timing belt, if you want the water pump changed add 300 to the tab if you get the part through them.

 

ah sry i, i did mine a month ago, i was just wondering how much it would be. it was pretty easy for me to do. thanks for the info tho, i was just wondering how much they would hve charged me. I changed my tensioner, the spring, waterpump and the belt for under $150(all honda parts from the Majestic Honda dealer website).

I forgot to mention he had the water pump and tensioner done as well...$900. I laughed at him too after he told me what he paid! He just assumed that the parts were expensive.

 

in san diego for timing belt, water pump, and tensioner 750-800 dollars

I'll do it myself thank you

 

Wow ...if you include parts i would do it for 200-250 depending....900 is crazy.

 

My local honda dealership wants $1200. Another honda dealership 1 hour away wants $480.
