Default Need someone to do my timing belt. Shoot me some prices!

Im in fort worth, tx. I have a 2001 IS300 and I have all the parts to do the timing belt. I tried to do it myself and got stuck at the crank pulley. Tired. Just rather pay someone else to do it if in reason. I am looking for someone to do timing belt, tensioner, pulley, water pump, thermostat, crank seal and cam seals. Who ever is interested and in the area let me know. Quote labor only.

if you cant find someone to do it, theres a full tutorial on here or my.is that you can pull up on google on how to do it. Just did mine. Took me only 1hour to do it. Its easy. Look it up online and youll see a life changing way on how to get the pulley off.

I've been searching and could not find hardly anything about the crank pulley unless I buy this $75 tool to remove it. If there is another way to do it then I would for sure be interested in doing it myself but I just can't find a way. Any links you can provide would be great.

What do you think that is a long time?
I think it would take me a full day to do my own timing belt hahaha

i think its worth taking it to Toyota and paying them $325 for belt water pump and seal replacement by techs that know what they are doing. Plus genuine parts

True story, when it comes to a repair that could potentially turn my engine into a paperweight if done incorrectly...
I'd rather leave the work to the pros.

Haha....that's what I was thinking. Seriously I would checkout a Toyota dealer over the Lexus dealer. The Acura dealer wants $1500 for this job, where the Honda dealer is "only" $750.

Oh for sure, defintely go to toyota dealer for this.
And if you order the parts yourself from dealer you should go to toyota and get N/A Toyota Supra waterpump and supra timing belt
Same motor same everything, but price is like 40% cheaper....
Even if you go to lexus and order parts through them, it will still come in a box that says toyota... But the price will be more expensive...

That's why they're known as dealerships aka stealerships
