Car Forum / Honda Cars / September 2004Whats a fair price for timing belt replacement on V6 Accord?
Around the Boston area I'm getting quotes from the dealer for 750 to 850 bucks! I dont want to take it to a small garage bacause i feel timing belt is a major deal??? Any suggestions about if its something that a small garage could easily do or should I take it to the dealer? Also does this sound high 750 to 850 bucks??? Thanks. I'll do it for $150. But you gotta fly me out there and provide hotel & food. ____________________________________ Do not write below this line. Reserved for me. >I'll do it for $150.

Not for a dealer in one of the most expensive cites in the U.S. Runs around $400 where I am at an independent shop for my 1991 4-cylinder Honda Civic. I imagine it would be over $500 at my local dealer. I am out West but not in California. A good import shop can do it, but make sure they use OEM parts and will add only OEM coolant. (Normally, the water pump is replaced at the same time as the timing belt, and a little coolant needs to be added.) Just had it done. $500 including water pump and counterbalance belt. Mid South. Not a dealer but a respected Mechanic who specializes in Hondas and other rice burners. Only uses OEM parts. He is considered high but very reliable in this area. >Around the Boston area I'm getting quotes from the dealer for 750 to >850 bucks!

I had an independent Honda mechanic do mine for $200 labor and I ordered all the parts online including water pump for about $100. |
