Is 400 dollars for labor too much for labor on a timing belt job/waterpump/belts, etc? Im getting ready to get this done but dont have tools to attempt this job with a diy.

I am planning on buying a kit from one of the tuning websites and bring it in for them to install.

 

thats cheap good deal!

 

An independent mechanic usually charges $400-600 for TB job.

Dealers usually charge about 700-1000+.

 

yea so 400 for labor plus 300 for my timing belt kit comes out to 700. still a good deal?

 

yeah thats a hell of a deal

 

i got mine for $500

 

so $400 is a good deal to me!

 

sweeet i guess i found my new mechanic on my audi for the duration of my audi ownership. lol.

 

i hope he's a good mechanic, not just an affordable one

 

its a pretty popular shop out here in sacramento. works on mainly vw's. Ive never been there but some reviews were good.

and yes i hope there good too. but pretty reputable.
