Default Dropping it off tonite, picking it up at 5 pm

Timing belt, Water Pump and all belts for 100$ All OEM Honda parts.


Im getting charged 200$ for labor. So im payin 300$ for everything. The mech going to think "This dude installed a turbo kit, but doesnt so his timing belt?"

I swear if it were springtime id do it myself. However i have a plan. This is going to get my idle fixed for free. If they dont fix it as the timing belt is replaced im just going to be like "Oh man i think your techs messed up the idle"......

i am coming up on my recommended timing belt change within 6,000 miles or so, but seeing as how i went from putting 20k a year on it, to putting 500 on in the last year..it might be a while before i need to deal with it...
