BUT for something so common to dealerships... id think they could do it quickly and right... plus then id have proof it was done..... _____________________________ (in reply to zoso) Post #: 13

RE: Timing Belt - 2/18/2007 4:49:58 PM    Stumasters Posts: 1096 Joined: 1/3/2007 Status: offline I would think 250 would be a pretty fair deal for the entire kit, because theres some work involved.  Plus the coolant and all that will have to be drained, so you will be getting a fresh fill there too.  300 would probably be pretty extreme. My local Honda stealership quoted me $295.00 before I even mentioned that I had the timing belt, but that wouldn't include the water pump/aux belts, which you really should go ahead and upgrade.  _____________________________ American cars Thanks to Windcalmer for the sig! http://www.geocities.com/black97civic (in reply to zoso) Post #: 19
