ok so i know everyone has had the discussion about getting your timing belt done. I finally broke down at 75,000 miles and had it done. Well worth it since if the belt goes your engine is screwed. I found a place here in mass. that does a great job quickly for a great price. They did all my drive belts, my timing belt, and my water pump for around 400$ The place is called C&D Auto Repair in Westport MA on route 6. Ask for Billy

 

Good stuff man, I had Mynes change out my belts at around 82k. I was paranoid because I had read some posts about people having their belts break at like 62k. My timing belt was fine but my other belts were beat to crap. Mynes did it for a little over $300.

 

the dealership did mine for almost $700 at 108,000miles

 

the guy said he coulda done it for 320$ but i wanted the water pump and everything done too, it came to 380$ with all parts labor and taxes, i was happy

 

Oh Parts Included? Nice!

 

hey hey hey

Ima fully strech my belt till 100k, as in the book it says 100k for belt in Cali, Mass, and Vermont.

Warrenty FTW!

 

Next time bring it up to my place we can do it for the cost of the belts and some beer. I did mine! had the help of a master tech from mitsu in Nashua. Took about an hr since we where just shooting the Sh## for most of the time.

 

i just replaced my drive belts at 37k becuase my mechinc said they were due plus they were cracking and falling apart god knows why it happen so fast

 

My belt was almost dead at 53k....we replaced my other belts at that time, too, because they were wearing down

 

did any of you replace the timing belt on your own? I am planning on doing mine this weekend.

I have done the procedure before in my volvo but I kwow the process is similiar. My main question is how do you line it up before you start...where are the marks at? Other than that the rest is just releasing tension and popping that bad boy off.

 

In louisville kentucky, a place by the name of Autolab did my timing belt, alternator belt, coolant flush, water pump, spark plugs, and a complete car diagnostic for $450.
