If he's gonna do the tranny and power steering definitely specify what fluids to use. PS is ATF and tranny is Toyota Type IV.

BTW, what price did he quote for the timing belt?

Bj(CA)

thanks iam gonna write that down, he said drop the car off, and he will give me an estimate. he said it would be way lower than the dealer,, plus he is ase certified and all. i just hope he has a manual or something, if not, iam sure he knows his stuff.

thanks

Bj(CA)

DoH!!! i guess your right, but if he can word on my compilated *** z, and supras, iam sure he can handle this, well, thats just what iam keep telling my self, lol

he said it will be a two day job, iam going to ask him for all the old parts.

I had mine done at a shop. The owner is my friend's brother. I had a timing belt change and a tune up. I think the timing belt was generic but the spark plugs were platinum and from the dealership. I had it all done for $670. I know his mechanics are competent because the owner owns an LS and he gets it serviced there all the time. They had my car done the same day.
