so i went to satan to deal w/them on the timing belt service.

im gunna take care of everything except the timing belt. takes them 6 hours, and me probably a week.

when they are changing the timing belt, i have so far that they need to replace the tensioner also, as well as the water pump, and gaskets. what else should they do that will be in the way of the timingbelt procedure? kinda like a udp install since u have to take the stock one off, but I already did that.

i have satan's "list" of 60k service, what a joke.

id prefer the pro's input, cuz they want my money, and yall know wassup.

Ey man, sup. Nice to hear ya got home safely. Just wanted to ask how much Satan quoted you for the 60K mile service. The local Mitsu here quoted me for 660. I want to know of other prices, so maybe I can haggle with the locals here...

60k service, the package was 525$ and then 72 bux an hour (like a cheap ho) for labor.

total would be a lil over a grand out the door.

jus them timin belt was 200+6hours labor

200 for just the belt!!! and labor on top of that!
Thats way too much...
Cause you can get the timing belt here:
http://www.carparts.com/parts/sample.asp?whichpage=2&reflink=0-0-0-0-0&sourceid=&parttypeid=19018&itemid=&pagesize=9
for 50 somthing..

2hundo is a rough estimate for the timin belt, tensioner, tensioner pulley. the water pump is like 150, and the gasket for the waterr pump is ~15 bux.

ill post up what i get on the invoice with specific pricing, etc. when its all done.


and thanks for the link, ima try to see if they will match the price
