Replacing a Timing Belt Cost - Buyer Experiences and Price Information

Water pump was broken, so changed that, thermostat and timing belt. I was at about 80k miles.

My car doesn't have a timing belt but rather a timing chain. What I had to replace was the water pump and serpintine belt or drive belt plus flush the cooling system and replace the coolant. The labor was about $300,the water pump $125., the belt $60 and the coolant was $35.

My mileage is 70,000. Timing Belt Pkg replacement, including water pump, recommended at 60,000 - but I'll wait until 80,000. I've been quoted between $450 and $650 for the job.
I average 7,000 miles per year

Never pay a dealer to do the routine work. Do it yourself and stop getting ripped off. Service manual CD $9.99 on Ebay.

How much the cost replacing a timing belt and the complet accesories.

1997 Rav4. POS. Can't believe it cost that much for a timing belt on a POS like that. I left it at the mechanic shop. They can keep it. I bought it for $1,100.

I'm scoping prices on this... mechanic I trust said I need to replace three s-belts: alternator, power steering, and timing. Car is almost at 100k miles so cracked belts by now seems likely. Price seemed right as well but then I saw posts online of $100-$200, which freaked me out.

All belts, water pump, spark plugs, oil change, plugs in engine, fixed a leak in coolent system by replacing a screw. Well worth the price. I am hoping if I spend money now maintaining there will be no big repairs in my future.

Water pump, timing belt, anti-freeze coolant, power steering belt, A/C-Alt belt, Camshaft seal, timing belt tensioner, and new radiator cap

Timing belt went and luckily didn't ruin engine. Had timing belt, serpentine belt & water pump all replaced for $399 (labor & parts). Have 144K miles on it and runs like brand new now.

This was at Pacific Honda Service Dept.
Parts = 441.72
Labor = 624.00

Bought it at 98,000 Miles I now have 109,500 miles on it.. Knew It needed to be replaced around the time i bought it. I should have had him do it until waiting for now. But I guess I got a good price at a Honda Dealer for my Service. Also put in a new water pump and my brake pedal had a squeaking noise every time i pushed down. My back brakes just needed to be re adjusted and cleaned.

included all belts, water pump and coolant

My car has been running rough for about a year and for a week before the new timing belt extremely rough, the engine sounded like a diesel! The recommended mileage interval to have it changed is 105k miles, and my car had 105,080 miles when I had it done. The car runs like new again! I realize now I should have had it done about a year ago even though it was before the recommended mileage.

I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD PAY LESS THAN $500 FOR A TIMING BELT JOB.

Included Timing belt kit which includes water pump, belt, tensioner and pulleys. Also did timing belt cover gasket kit, camshaft oil seal, 2 belts, serpentine and toyota coolant. Hours were at $79.99 per hour plus $293.10 for parts and $43.47 for tax.

Timing belt tensioner drove price up and my car has around 120K.

This included:
Timing Belt,
Water Pump,
Adjuster,
Accessory Belts,
Mass Flow Sensor,
and Diagnostic fee (We originally were not doing timing belt work)

All using OE parts

Replaced the timing belt at 85,000 miles. Other dealership came up with a little bit more expensive quote.

7 hours labor at $45/hour, $185 parts

So, I call for a quote on a timing belt replacement and all the others that come w/ it... Water pump, gaskets and such. The quote from the Lexus Dealer = $1500 - From the Toyota Dealer = $1100 - Local Certified Mechanic Shop - $950. I bought all the parts I needed online - $310. Then I went back to the local dealer and spent 350 in labor; a total of $670. I'M VERY SATISFIED.

Timing Belt Kit (TB, balancer, tensioners), water pump, all new radiator hoses, serpentine drive belt(s), crankshaft & camshaft seals, coolant, spark plugs, air filter, oil change...
