Water Pump and timing change $$$$$$

[solaraluv]

I was at the dealer yesterday and got a price on the labor. They quoted me a price $800!!! WTF does that sound right?

4 or 6? sounds about right for a dealer price for a 6

I paid $800 at the dealer? Never do that again...lol

I paid about 500 at the dealer with all belts and pump

My personal mechanic (former now!) quoted me at $950!!. I'm afraid to ask the dealership, I guess living next to the NYC makes everything sky high.

Dude, befriend one of the toyota tech's...tell them to replace it after hours. Some dealerships allow this, some don't....Some tech's do this from they homes (garges).

lol that and he's been very shady lately. Its hard to find an honest mechanic, I checked a local "big" shop and they quoted me @ 550. That's what made me decide not to deal with him anymore.
