That's a very fair price for doing all that including OEM parts.

i think that i spend $400 + on OEM Parts (timing belt, t-stat, water pump, #1 & #2 Idlers, Drive belts, new crank bolt, Toyota red coolant.) Just buy the parts and do it your self, this way you know its done right.

A dealer should get it right and if they don't they do have a warranty;I wish that was something I could do but I'll leave mine to the pros.

Before leaving your truck, ask them what they will retorque the crank bolt to. (It should be retorqued to 217 ft-lbs on the 5VZFE) Even many pros don't have the correct torque spec because it changed after the early 5VZs had problems with the crank bolts coming loose and ruining the crank. The old spec was about 185 ft-lbs IIRC. And make sure they actually have the SST to hold the crank, some will cut corners and just use an impact on it hoping it will be good enough.

Good price. I guess I should get mine done. There's an independent Toyota shop near me ( http://www.toyowest.com/ ) that installed my TRD headers. I'll see what they rape me for...

$260 at a local dealer. Nobody beats them, and they get most of the timing belt business here.

That's a reallllly good price ! While he has the front of the engine torn apart
have the cam and crank seals replaced and new Toyota red anti-freeze
installed along with Alt/PS/AC belts replaced. Should not add more than $150
to your cost, plus you'll be worry-free for many more miles.
