That timing belt is costly sir! If you don't mind replacing it,OK! I had it changed at 90,000 miles! Yes, if you don't mind changing it! I feel they are passing the buck on changing the timing belt! Again, if you dont mind replacing it on your dime yes! If you do mind no! Call the dealer or a mechanic to see how much it may cost to replace it and if its worth it before you decide! I forgot what I paid but remember it was costly!!! Did it with the 90,000 mile service and it was over $1,000 total sir! All the best!!! L.G.N.M

I had a large local Toyota dealer replace the air filter, timing belt AND water pump for under $1k out the door. And they put the replacement parts in a box so I could see that they did indeed do the work.

Shop around.
