Hi All:

I have a question, i'm looking to timing belt/water pump/tentioner for my 2000 Civic> i shopped around, and found through advance with their online discounts, i can get all 3 for around $90.(after almost $45 off). I checked dealers online and local, cheapest i could find if $170 shipped.
My question is is Advance Auto parts any good? I've read reviews and it is mixed, 50/50 for dealer and local store..

Please help

 

For stuff like the timing belt tensioner and water pump, I always go OEM Honda. However, I am sure the advance auto parts aren't bad at all.

 

The belts from Advance are as good as the genuine Honda, since Honda buys them from a third party belt manufacturer anyway. The other parts may be knock-offs. If you're doing your own labor you can just replace the belt make sure the tensioner and water pump bearings are good. If they start to get noisy you can come back and replace them since labor is "free". Paying someone to do it, replace the whole group to avoid rework later.
