How long does it take to change timing belt?Also, what is the average charge for changing it?Thanks in advance

This is a job I have done before... This job takes a while and is a pain to perform. It should take around 4-5 hours. Depending on the shops rate, the bill could run you a couple hundred dollars. It also depends on the car. Your mechanic may have to remove the radiator, hoses, cooling fan, or accessory belts to get to the timing belt. They may not. I would say average (more or less) is $500 and 5 hours.How long does it take to change timing belt?Also, what is the average charge for changing it?Thanks in advance
A good mechanic can change a timing belt in three or four hours. Since labor charges vary from State to State, it's hard to say how much you'll be charged, but I'd say it shouldn't be more than four hundred dollars, including parts and labor. Good luck!How long does it take to change timing belt?Also, what is the average charge for changing it?Thanks in advance
Depends on what kind of car it is. Some you can do in 2 or 3 hours and some it takes all dayHow long does it take to change timing belt?Also, what is the average charge for changing it?Thanks in advance

Really depends on the car, your tools, and your knowledge. If you have all of these, go to your library and get a Chilton's or Haynes manual, make copies and jump right on in. Cuz once you start you can't stop.

I have changed 3 timing belts on my cars. Each one was different regarding time and difficulty.

Cost, get a couple of bids from different repair places. Could be $200 plus parts up to $1000 with parts.How long does it take to change timing belt?Also, what is the average charge for changing it?Thanks in advance
If you cannot do this job yourself make sure you do not make a fatal, deadly mistake of taking your car to a bunch of morons. I can list the places Pep boys, car-X, well you get the idea. Your engine may well be an interference engine meaning that during the install if they don't know what they are doing they can damage valves. Or if they did get it on, you engine may end up launching itself because they do not have a clue. Make sure you take it to a place of real competence like the dealer.
