Is there any economic advantage to replacing the timing belt and starter at the same time compared to two separate jobs?
I have a 2000 with 105,000 miles. I believe the starter contacts are going bad, but the dealership's reco is replace the entire starter. On occassion (1X/week) but becoming more frequent, when I turn the key nothing happens--after 4 or 5 attempts, the engine cranks right up like nothings wrong.
The dealership estimate was $600 for timing belt replacement and $830 for the starter.
Thanks
