Cost of TB replacement, 1997 Civic LX Hi, What would be typical cost of timing belt replacement in 1997 Civix LX. Chicago area? What is usually included in this job, a water pump. Anything else? I just got some wild quote from Fox Valley Honda in Aurora, IL - $1.3K. Whereas just googling "Civic 1997 TB replacement cost" gives me this: """ The average cost for a Honda Civic timing belt replacement is between $287 and $349. Labor costs are estimated between $237 and $299 while parts are priced at $50. """ Should I grab a TB from the dealer and find an independent mechanic ? Thanks. |
Re: Cost of TB replacement, 1997 Civic LX How many labor hours does the quote show? $1300 seems high but there's no way it would cost $300. I'd think somewhere right in between the two. Probably $6-800. |
Re: Cost of TB replacement, 1997 Civic LX Being in the rust belt they may have added a couple hours for dealing with rust + some money for new bolts |
Re: Cost of TB replacement, 1997 Civic LX dealer prices (choose one closest to you or lowest price, just search for online honda parts and find dealers - not sure if aftermarket parts cause issues or not, TB are not usually the issue so not changed frequently) https://www.bkhondaparts.com/v-1997-...hrottle-body-1 |
Re: Cost of TB replacement, 1997 Civic LX Just to close it off. An independent shop did the work for $848. That includes water pump, tensioner, TB and valve cover gasket. I asked them to give me the old TB. To me it looks as good as new. A 24 year old TB. Feel a little stupid. But what you gonna do? Paying for peace of mind. My vague recollection is that circa 2010 I paid $650 for timing belt change at the dealer (vs $1.3K they want now). I have a feeling they gave me the price to see me turn around and leave (meaning they do not want to deal with my rusty old "classic") |
Re: Cost of TB replacement, 1997 Civic LX Sorry. usually, TB refers to Throttle Body. Timing belt is fully timing belt. My link was for throttle body (TB) |
Re: Cost of TB replacement, 1997 Civic LX NP man. I am new here. My fault entirely ;). |
