Timing Belt Replacement

I am due for a Timing Belt Replacement (105,000 mi service) and was quoted $850 through Acura.  Does this price seem high?  Would this service be able to be performed by any mechanic?  Thanks.  Todd Skibinski

Hi toddskibinski,

Yes, any seasoned professional should be able to accomplish the same task.  Your normal mechanic should be able to get this done for less than $500 or $600 unless something drastic is required during the belt replacement.

Hope this helps!

When you replace the timing belt, you also should replace the water pump, its run by the timing belt and is recommended by Acura, this saves you time, while your replaceing the timing belt you might as well, saves time and it it siezes your timing belt may break and the engine in your car is an interfierance head. which means if the timing belt breaks, you pistons hit your valves and you'd probably need a new engine.
