I don’t know that I’d call it a hobby, but I’m so cheap that I fix anything I have the tools for. I do brakes, I do fluids; I don’t do timing belts. BTW, I’m going to need a new timing belt (and water pump, of course) in the next year. Do you have any pointers for finding the right shop? I’m going to talk to everyone I know with a Honda (mine’s a 2005 Accord V6),and even friends with a history at a single garage. Then I’ll talk to a few garages to see if they have done this work before, and how much they charge. If you can help me do a better job, I would appreciate it.
