Timing Belt Service Done - I think the price was fair (2 Viewers)

[arbetrader]

So I finally pulled the trigger and had the timing belt replaced at 100K today. Services performed:

Timing Belt replaced
Accessory Drive Belt replaced (belt provided by me)
Oil and Filter Change (Mobile 1 Oil and Filter provided by me because it is much cheaper at Costco)
Vehicle Inspection

Total came to $413 after various discounts

They advised that the water pump, pulleys and cam seals are all fine with no fluid seeping out.

Fair price?

Just had mine done, got all the parts through CDAN (thanks!!) and had all this done:

T-Belt
S-Bellt
Water pump
all new oil seals
crank seals
new plugs
coolant flush

There was a bunch of other stuff done too, can't remember, but all came out to like $850 for everything parts and labour. At 145k the water pump was leaking where I couldn't see it either, plus other seals were ready to be replace. I would have done that if I were you, but I hope you don't have any issues. Anyway, overall I thought that was a pretty good price...

Wow, 145k!! I thought I was tempting fate changing mine out at 118k. How did the T-belt look?

Just wanted you guys to know what your getting when you call and ask for 90k quotes at differnet places that you've got to compare apples to apples not apples to oranges
Most Non vehicle secific Independent shops will not know about the known water pump leaks or the wheel brg repack at 90k.
Toyota or Lexus specific shops or Dealers will be aware of the water pump and wheel brg repack intervals and other common failures to look for.

Cheers Thanks Glenn! Very helpful. Mine was done at an independent prior to my purchasing it and they left most things off this list.

So it was $100 more afterall, he forgot the water pump cost. Still a great deal and I check it all out and it all looks great. Even the battery install was done great with anti corrision coating on the terminals. Anyone in Oklahoma should head to Metric Motors and speak to Bryan.

I might be driving to Katy to have this done within the next year. Thanks to all who have posted these prices.
