Does 900.00 sound about right?

[lowkey37]

I will be having my 90,000 service done shortly. The total will be 900.00 and some change. The stealership will replace with all OEM parts:

Timing belt
serpentine belt
thermostat
thermostat gasket
water pump
spark plugs
anti-freeze

Does this sound like a decent price?

If you are willing to pay it, then it is a good price.

Where are you located? Big city, rural, etc.?

 

[lowkey37]

I am in Alabama, just south of Birmingham. Why do you ask?

 

[lowkey37]

Here is what I am being charged for parts:
serpentine belt 90.55
water pump 143.53
timing belt 58.09
coolant? 43.58
thermostat and gasket 25.78
spark plugs 82.96

 

[Supra88]

That's a great price.

 

[petrotk40]

Ya that is a heck of a deal.

 

[e9999]

I think it's a good price. My wife paid more than that for just the timing belt and water pump.

That isn't to out of linea, make sure they haven't missed any items that should be swapped while doing all that service.

Seems like a good price indeed. I paid $850 or so this summer but that didn't include plugs. Did those myself.

Is the dealership including the misc gaskets and parts included a normal t belt/water pump change?

 

[3_puppies]

is there a tensioner for both belts?

 

[lowkey37]

Yes they are

 

[cpcc]

Including tensioners and a new t-stat 900 is very reasonable. Change the radiator fluid while it is all out. Please make sure that it is all OEM stuff.

 

[OGBeno]

OP does not mention the idlers, or the tensioner, or the 2 orings on the water bypass housing. Those are necessary IMHO when doing this job.

$900 does sound reasonable for a Gulf States Toyota dealership doing the job. They are definitely charging you a little over Toyota MSRP.

dang really? whats the MSRP for the job?

I'm talking parts.

Labor is all over the place depending on the market. Here in ABQ, they charge $120 and hr.

I got quoted $885 for water pump, Tbelt, thermostat. No plugs. This sounds about right. I'm not delving into that to save a couple of hundred bucks.

Where are you getting that price? I'm in BHAM too and am at 89700 miles.

I too paid more than that for my 90K from an independent shop. It sounds like a good price. Labor in our neck of the woods is $80-$100/hr
