Salim- I believe it was $165 less than they quoted. Bill ended up $360. instead of the $525. that they had originally quoted.

My bad .. still $360 for t-belt on vvti-v6 transverse mounted is a good deal.

That's what I thought. I'l bet there a lot of guys on here that wish that they had gotten that good a deal. I'm glad that I'm able to do my own work (and family). Hate to think of the day when I'm not able to- I'm really fussy about quality of work.

The belt was $47, the balance was labor, 3-4 hours. They said it's a pretty easy job. The water pump and seals looked good. BTW it's an "AAA" shop, 24 month-24000 mile warrranty.

Just had the timing belt done today. Had the water pump replaced as well as the accessory belts. They also replaced two cam seals.
Total was $739.
I thought that was a good deal and got a free tire rotation. The timing belt by itself was priced at $253.43 + cost of belt $57.56 = $310.99.
Made it to 117,000 miles and didn't feel like tempting it any further as I believe it was not done before.
Work was done at TriCounty Toyota in Limerick, PA if anyone needs work done around the Philadelphia area.
Total was $739.

why are people here not doing the water pump, seals, etc. at the same time as the t-belt? i know it's not cheap but if and when these other parts fail in the near future, won't it come back to bite you in the end when you have to redo everything?
incidentally i quoted $1200 for everything, including the idler pulleys as well
