My timing belt is almost dead...

mrb420 · 07-12-2005

Money doesn't grow on trees... For an '01 civic, in Los Angeles, CA

Is $375.00 a fair price, to have the timing belt, the water pump, all the drive belts, the crank seal, and the cam seal replaced, and the radiator flushed?

This is from a trusted mechanic that only works on Hondas and Acuras and only uses Honda parts.

water pump=100 bucks timing belt ~ 20-30 bucks. belts= no more than 20. crank seal-unsure cam seal-unsure. radiator flush- DIY. antifreeze would be around 20 bucks for the fluid. plus labor rate. so maybe. i wouldn't run that at all though.

To have it done, it is about 3-400 dollars. Always do the water pump with the belt, and do the seals. I might also do the tensioner, as they wear out too.

Is that for parts AND labor? If it is, then I think so. I've heard changing the timing belt can be a bitch.

sounds about right, i have some friends with other hondas that have paid in the 350-500 range for their timing belts

what mileage you guys at? i wanna figure about how long the head gasket lasts i know it depends on how you drive

Black03civic · 07-12-2005

hmm that a good price if that includes labor

HyaBoosta · 07-12-2005

not a bad price

sw388integra · 07-12-2005

I'd jump on that price if i didn't do my own work!..

BlackFire · 07-12-2005

I would say its a great price if it includes parts and labor considering its being done in California where living cost is kinda expensive.

MajinB · 07-12-2005

um if your timing belt breaks then your gonna need a new motor. literally. yeah so with all that stuff its a decent price.

Yup, I already made the appt. for next Saturday. And that does include parts & labor. For anybody that is interested in the shop, here is the link:
