RE: Jiffy Lube Timing Belt Question
typically they sat 105,000 miles or 7 years. Time can actually take a bigger toll on the belt that actual mileage. You're both driving EJ's, so obviously they're 7 years or older, get those belts/pumps swapped

I doubt it. The timing belt is just a belt, the only reason you need to change it is because the rubber gets weak over time and with lots of use. If you don't change it, the belt can snap at any time and ruin the engine. If you are looking for a performance shop in IL, I can prolly find out for you since I know some people that are into the modding scene. However, there really isn't a good reason to take your car to an performance shop to have the timing belt changed. I know that One-6 motorsports and Driver's Image (supposdly ricer city) are two performance shops. I believe that One-6 specializes in Hondas and Acuras. Driver's Image is more rice and less performance from what I've heard.

I just got mine done at a honda garage recently. It was a little more expensive than the estimate from my reg mechanic ($400) Honda place $500. But I took into consideration that I get a new water pump, A/C belt, coolant flushed, and valves adjusted at the honda place.
If you don't have the veteran know how, it's worth the money to get it done right. And it's usually a one time thing.
