Re: Timing belt R&R (and shop recommendation)

[Shaun Folkerts <fiatlancia@earthlink.net>]

No, of course not. The $120.00 was exclusive of the parts - belt, pump, and tensioner - which cost $90.00. Both front seals were good, and the shop included the misc and disposal in the labor cost. I knew I'd be flushing the cooling system when I got home,
so I just had them refill with water. After all taxes and shipping on the parts, my total cost for the job was $228.72. Took some effort on my part to do the research/parts-sourcing, but saved me a LOT to do so.

5 hours from D.C., 6 tops. When should I expect you?  :^)
