Where to get timing belt changed?

[Nevin]

Looking for a good shop to change the timing belt on my integra for a reasonable price. I actually don't know if my belt is original or has been changed already. I have 116k miles.

Hmmmmm....... Let see here. U are probably looking at spending around $300 or so...plus U should go ahead and change all the accesory belts anyway. They all need to come off to get to the timing belt. I would do it but no place and it is cold to do it.....Reading Honda is OK I guess or try catch auto in sinking spring or there is a place in town call center city import. Not sure where else is a good place around here. Talk to Eric, maybe he knows a place!!

Joel in Lancaster can do it. He changed many. I was thinking about heading up to his shop this week if you want to go.

I was thinking of changing water pump and accessory belts while getting the timing belt done. I got estimates of $550-$750. I know you would do it KC but it's a lot of labor (I looked it up in the helm's manual and saw what was involved) so thats why I'm taking it to a shop.

[Nevin]

Cool, what day are you going to joel's shop?

[mysticeclipse]

Damn KC I was going ask you to go to [img]frown.gif[/img] Ah well hey Nevin Im still up for saturday at about 11:00am?

Ok Nevin I talked to Joel here is his instant message...

Joelinvt: Tell him to go to Acura and get a timing belt and water pump and the 3 accesory belts
Joelinvt: Well...I can either do it by the time I spend or flat rate
Joelinvt: I would figure it would take 4-5 hours if all goes well
Joelinvt: at $20/hour that would be around 100
Joelinvt: 200 would cover the parts he needs
Joelinvt: so that would be 300 like you said on teh board
Joelinvt: yes
Joelinvt: let me know

So Nevin sound like he can do it next week, from the IM either you can supply the parts or he can get them for you. I have his number if you want it.

Also he isnt going to be around Saturday. But if you still want to head up that way let me know Ill drive by his shop
