Do another timing belt

I just got a quote for my second timing belt change since im considering just giving it to my brother. For all new idlers, tensioners, coolant, new timing belt, and new water pump, all oem parts btw, the shop gave me a quote of about $649. Compared to the dealers $1600 it's a hell of a lot of savings, but i just wanted to see if its around what other people are paying.

That's about right, parts alone are around 200-300 from Rockauto alone...

At the same time, and only a few dollars more, don't forget to do the front oil seals. Also optionally, new drive belts if they are worn out.

The price is very good

+1 on the front crank seal. Maybe spend a little bit more to do the valve cover gaskets and cam seals while you are at it.
