Hello. Can someone give me a reasonable price of what it would cost to replace a Timing Belt? Thanks inadvance.

[image] jtsanders: I paid $700 in 2012 for an Accord V6 to change the timing belt, water pump, coolant, and serpentine belt. That was at my local dealer I have a covorker who maintains his Accord at his local dealer, and the maintenance costs he pays seem to be very competitive to compare to …

Bear in mind that Honda dealers will often just change the belt. They will look at the tensioner/pulleys/water pump and if they think they’re in good condition, they won’t change them.

Good point! Thanks for your input…

A timing belt job is a routine thing shops do all the time & doesn’t require a dealership, so if cost is a concern you can save a few dollars by using a well recommended inde shop rather than a dealership. I expect you’ll be looking at $700 - $1200 invoice there. The replacement belt itself isn’t v…

That’s true! My problem is that my 2001 honda civic has so much rust that I don’t know if I want to make that kind of investment, since my dream retirement vehicle is a conversion van.
