Mitsu dealer wants 500$ for...
I just thought I would go by the dealership and see how much a timing belt would cost plus install. And they told me 500$ plus tax they have a 400$ tune up service but you don't get the timing belt changed. Is there any other cheaper ways to get this done?

just had my belt changed and it was just under 500 for the belt. it took us from 8a - 1p to tow the car and install the belt.
I got lucky and didn't do anything to the valve stems the compression all checked out
It is not a pop a few screws, loosen the tensioner and put the new on one install. Here is the diagram.

^Yes! I forgot to mention it this time, but I usually mention how instead of going to the dealership...spend the money on tools to do the job and they'll last much longer than that car you're working on. Very good advice!

LOL! You're trying to tell me I would lie about my budget DIY T-belt replacement and such?

I will never ever take my car to the dealership ever again. Never go to the dealership unless it free. They charge arm and a leg for labor and parts and they do a crappy job on your cars. Take it to a shop.
