Default How much was your Timing Belt?

I'm due for a new timing belt ASAP. I'm just wondering how much you all paid to have it done.

Please specify whether you replaced water pump

I am going to get mine done soon. The dealership is quoting me $439 for the "package" which does include the water pump replacement. It is actually cheaper at the dealership than with other garages I have checked. May be just my market, dunno. I have a 96 Accord, price may vary on model.

Water pump should always be replaced.
Cost $400-$600 range depending on market and model.

I paid $550 at an Acura Dealer last time for my 97 EX.

James I'm in Allen, are you talking about Lute Riley?

What about a valve adjustment and things of that sort?

Mine cost $1000 CDN to be done, about $650 US. That was timing/balance belt, water pump, all the seals in that area, a few tensioners in that area, and the timing belt cover.

I wasn't planning on the tensioners or the timing belt cover, but when they took it off they found an oil leak had pushed the cover out, and the crank pulley had eaten right into it. There was a bigass hole there that I could fit two fingers through, and a huge crease through the cover. Note that I bought the car used 4 months before this, so the previous owner was the dick, not me.

The moral? Get those seals in the area replaced as well!

I also had it done at a dealer, as this is one job I wanted done right.

just go to http://www.hondaautomotiveparts.com. You can pick up a timing belt and balance shaft belt for around 80 bucks.

Just called the dealership.....

Well, I talked with one person they say their price list says: $439 for the package.
You talk to the service guy he says: $649 for the package including tax.

Package includes:
Labor
Belts
Water Pump
Value Adjustment
Gaskets and Seals
Warranty for 12 months parts and labor

Hope this helps. Curious to see two people give two prices, but its not the first time a dealership has done this to me. I talked with NAPA and their price is more in line with the $649 but does not include a water pump.

Let me know if you get it done, how they do and what price they end up giving you.
