Seattle Area Crusiers:
(over)Time for me to do the timing belt and water pump (92K miles). Dealer (Toyota of Kirkland) charges $1,050 for the works (belt + waterpump).
If going to an indpendant - reputable - shop, who do you recommend?
I have quotes that go down to just over $500 for same job (+parts) but not sure I am willing to gamble (and currently do not have time to do this myself) on this pretty important job (knowing that our neighborhood otherwise very reputable shop rarely/ever works on Cruisers).
