[QUOTE="FishingCop, post: 57694, member: 133"] I'm not a mechanic, but it would seem to me that if they are going to charge you $600 to change a timing belt and water pump that are still working, I would wait and take a chance that they continue to work for the duration you own the car. If one fails, THEN you can pay the $600 - whay pay it for preventative maintenance if it will only cost the same to fix IF it breaks??? Now, that said, if they wanted $600 to do preventative maintenance on something that would cost $4000 to fix, that's a different situation. Or, does changing a broken timing belt cost more than changing a good timing belt :?: :?: :? :? :roll: [/QUOTE]
