Replace Timing Belt and Balance Shaft belt + Oil Filter

So far on hold in Mechanics garage. Yes I did not know these parts existed. Dealer will get repaired but at higher cost they did not give gaurantee. Will post progress later

Replaced timing chain, tensioner, spark plugs, cleaned throttle body as well as oil + oil filter.
Parts totaled 250.15 while labor was 637.79. Tax was 62.16.
Car is now leaking oil.

I paid 300 for a timing belt, water pump, and a seal. '96 Jetta.

Was told at first it is probably a sensor...later they call and say its the timing belt and will cost $760. I ask why so expensive.....they say it has a "kit" and all these other things to change w it? Also...going to take 4 hours to do it. Weird thing is they say my timin belt is broken...car won't start, yet before towing it to the shop...it was starting just not staying on. I asked another mechanic, they say it doesn't sound right. I think I'm being taken for a ride don't you?

I was glad to find out on the internet that my v6 twin overhead cam engine was a non-interference motor. This makes a big difference when you have your timing belt break. It should have been replaced every 60K but I was not aware like a lot of other people.

Price quote from Honda dealership, what a joke!!

A timing belt and a serpentime (or accessory) belt are NOT the same thing! Sepentine belts are external and drive things like the water pump, power steering pump and anlternator. Simple to change in most cases. A timimg belt is typicly internal and times the cam(s) to the crank. Can be flairly complex to change.

good friend of mine did the job for a hundred and fifty dollars and flushed fluids

My car was at 91,000 miles. Took it in for inspection and oil change. They told me I should get the timing belt replaced and have fluids flushed. Timing belt kit was $400 they gave it to me for $344--Flush fluids and oil change was
$529 with 25% Discount(because I told them that's what I could get if I took it to Jiffy Lube where my son works) cost was $397. However-I believe I was charged 6 hrs labor for all this because labor was $594 --don't believe it took that long -this was all done at Merchants

I bought all the parts and did it myself and did it right the first time. I had paid somebody, but didnt do a good job and had to redo everything myself. I follow all the instructions in the repair manual and gained knowledge and piece of mind. I'm a DIY.

Dealer quoted $1125 for timing belt, water pump, Idler, etc. he recommends when changing the timing belt. I just had the timing belt replaced.

They took my car for 2 days and let them take their time with it. In exchange they gave me a brand NEW CIVIC to drive around for that time :)

Repair shop had $85.00/hour labor rate, stated they spent over $700 for cost of new parts alone (did not use rebuits parts), used OEM parts timing belt, (2) serpentine belts, water pump, idler tensioner, cam seals, Distributor parts, and timed & tuned up. Excessive Charges!!!

Estimate $558.58 for timing belt tensioner, water pump, gallon bottle of green coolant, disposal fee. Is this a good price or an inflated price? The car has 86,000 miles and had a timing belt change at 60,000 miles about 5 years ago. Manual says change 90K. But they tell me I need to do it now. purchased new 2001

Labor 90x5.5 hr=475,parts 415. Total=900

The guy was amazing that did the belt! He replaced the entire timing assembly - chain, all sprockets, and all guides! And he did it right in front of my home! Mobile mechanic that was very knowledgeable...

Odyssey 2002. Timing belt, water pump, three belts, and tensioner for total $700 from John Eagle Honda.

An Element has a chain belt vs. rubber, so that is okay but...they got me on $1300 worth of other stuff at 100,000 miles. Ask about fluid maintenance before you buy a used car. Changing all of em is 500+ along with spark plugs, checking brakes, air filter etc. I am learning all this buying a used car for my teen. I also had a $650 repair for a couple compliance bushings and $170 for a serpentine belt. Hope it goes another 10 years or more.

$800 reg price, $725 with coupon.

This was an unexspected service. I took my car in for a tune up. I was orginally told that it would cost $500.00. I received call re: timing belt, brakes and trailing arms totaling $2,200.00.
