Timing Belt Replacement $318.59 - $1516.66 Get a Quote

Typically, most manufacturer’s recommend that the timing belt gets replaced around 100,000 miles. I would recommend checking in your owner’s manual to verify the exact mileage. This replacement involves removing the timing cover which can be quite labor intensive. Expect several hours of labor in addition to the cost of parts. Consider YourMechanic for your timing belt replacement as this can be done at your home or office.
