Need a bit of info, how much did it cost yall to have your timing belt changed? I got quoted $590 for Timing Belt, Water Pump, and Drive Belts.

 

dealers around here charge around $750.

 

Thats a good price, I was quoted $778.

 

X2

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

 

I just paid $479 at a Toyota/Lexus only shop.

 

Expect to pay about 500 bucks.

 

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.

 

Def. agree with that

 

getting timing belt and water pump done tomorrow for 350.00. 4runners got 132000 on it. i will check condition of old belt and post again.

 

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.

 

All of my local dealerships want ~$350 for timing belt only.

 

$270 including drive belts, oil change and brake inspection.

 

i bought my parts at yota of dallas by pm'ing a fella here and saved atleast $60 on parts..then i called around for labor quotes and went with the cheapest mechanic i TRUST.. i was quoted by the local dealership for everything for around $550-625 bucks and i ended up paying a total of $480 or so.. not too shabby.. heck thats with yota red coolant and everything.. btw if you do not go to a yota dealership then buy your own toyota red coolant and distilled water and let them use that.. lord knows what they put in it.. btw this is what i had done for that price

t-belt
water pump
thermo
all drive belts
yota red coolant and distilled water

 

that sucks around here its 229.99

 

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.

 

wow, those are some great prices! i'm getting the timing belt/h2o pump, front brakes, tune up, all fluids and filters, etc for $900. should be picking up truck today.

 

any here in md. and what price?
