I had a mechanic replace the following:

-Water pump
-Timing belt
-ATX lines (transmission to radiator hoses)
-Serpentine belt
-positive battery cable

I gave him my car @ 8:00am. I drove it away at 3:30pm. The guy did an awesome job
parts & labor....$280!!

this guy is going on my speed dial

That's a damn good deal, definitely keep that guys number. I've got a mechanic like that around here, but he does mostly hondas.

Damn! I got a $197.00 quote for a timing belt/water pump kit. That doesnt even include labor.

What about...

-timing belt tensioner
-cam and crank seals
-upper torque strut
-PS/AC idler pully
-radiator
-heater pipes
-heater hoses
-thermostat
-heater core
-thermostat housing
-PS belt
-AC belt
-battery
-wheel bearings

oops... ok... I got carried away with my list.

Even without a new tensioner it's a pretty good price. I've seen some outrageous quotes on labor for the timing belt in the past.

i'll just ask him how much to rebuild my entire car

no tensioner...probably woulda just been another 50-70 bucks though.

Good deal. My friends are going to do my T belt and stuff for $80. They also installed my tranny for $80 haha.

I'm tempted to do the cam seal because it's only like $5, but is it accessible from the timing belt area? I haven't messed with this car at all...

contagious18 · Post by **contagious18** » Mon Nov 16, 2009 6:26 pm

That's a heck of a deal. I paid 250 for parts and 250 for labor. Which was steal cheap knowing that I was getting quotes of 400 just for labor. But i did buy his srt rear bumper and sry sideskirts for 300 total
