just for you guys that have taken your cars to a shop for a timing belt, how much money are they charging to do that?

 

3 or so years ago we got my moms Neon done for about $500.

 

HOLY HELL
well i guess ill charge $300 to do this one, lol
that **** takes me like 45 minutes

 

we got ours done at the dealership so i think thats why.

 

i usually charge about $100.....but i know its cheap

 

45 mins, god damn, is that with or without a/c, disasembly and resembly??

 

i knowtheshop i go toworks at $50 an hour and its $250 just for there time then plus the parts

 

i think it takes me about an hour to replace a timing belt....as long as there arent any problems[&:]

 

whats AC have to do with the timing belt?
thats not in the way, i did the timing belt, water pump, put and underdrive pulley back on, new tensioner pulley and tensioner in 1 hour and drove it back out.
i started out working flat rate in a shop, i know how to make money at that, but i quit workin on cars for a daily job.
this car got lucky , the tension pulley came apart, belt broke and didnt bend any valves.

 

i hate those 2nd gens
