Hoping to get input for work being done on 2003 lx470 in distress. (1 Viewer)

Meh, I hear ya'...I didn't do the repair on my own and I get worried some technicians could make a proper factory seal worse by replacing what isn't broke.

If you can't trust the technician to change out the seals, then you shouldn't trust him on a timing belt job.

Don't think they are screwing you over just because you are stranded, you are just paying for full dealer list price for parts, labor, shop supplies and tax. FYI, labor prices has increased too unfortunately.
