Default Help - quoted 1300-1400 for timing belt from the stealership...

in Nashua... can you say "Rip Off?!"... I was wondering if anyone here might be able to recommend a good, reasonably priced pro shop between Boston, MA and Manchester, NH for timing belt service, etc.?

Thanks in advance!

When I spoke with the service rep, I told them I wanted "timing belt service". They said that it would be "$1,300 to 1,400 and would like to keep the car overnight." Unfortunately, other than the timing belt, they didn't mention what would be replaced.

Default My local dealer quoted me $1600...

My brother's shop said they'd do it for $850-900. Still an all-day job, but that's a big difference in price.

Default Klaus did mine for $1100 (i think) and that included thermostat, new tensioner, and waterpump

I can't remember if it was more things, I think serpitine(sp) no caffine yet, but everything that made sense considering how deep you have to go into there. (v6, mounted long., not like your transversly mounted 1.8T) so prices might be different for that...
