Default Timing Belt Replacement Shop
Can someone recommend a shop or a Lexus tech who can replace my timing belt and water pump in the Bartlett area? I feel like the dealers around here are trying to rape me.. This is for my 2000 RX300 with 74000 miles.Thanks in advance

Dealer is always best bet for this, if you are one tooth off from the belt to the pulley, you can ruin the valves. It is unfortunately about $800-900 for both.
