And I've decided that there is no way I'm going there again.

It pisses me off everytime I think about it.

I think about $350 of that total was parts.

Then I got to pay shop supplies and tax and all that crap.

I'm pissed now, again.

Just got quoted roughly $1750 total, placing timing belt, pumps, valve covers..about $1000 labor?1?1

KompMan420

Timing kit from ECS (two belts, water pump, thermo, 2 rollers) = $250

APR snub = $50

2 jugs of coolant = $28

6 hours labor for timing belt + 1 hour for the rest of the parts at $75/hour = $525

Total with shipping on parts = $875

Now for the Scooby Doo ending...

Initial install also required oil change ($70) and 710n diverter valve ($30, I cracked it when installing it so needed a new one). Total spent after that day was $1021. Had to take it back the following Monday (2/13/06) because the timing belt was rubbing. Faulty Tensioner from ECS. $400 more in labor + $100 new part from local dealer brings the grand total to almost $1600

$0 for labor, aside from lunch and going out for beers later.
