Post changing timing belt

its time for me to change my timing belt in my 1995 sc4.
but i don't have the first clue of what to do?

what parts do i need?
how much will this cost?

Be done at the lexus dealer or somewhere else?

I'm locate in Northern California.

I preferred the cheapest way possible.

Thanks!

Default search, search, search.....

Keep in mind the cheapest way may be to not change it at this time, but rather remove a few covers and inspect it.

You might find it to be in fine shape- there are many posts on here of timing belts lasting much longer than the recommended change interval, and almost no posts mentioning them breaking.

Do a search and read up on the subject before spending $500 or more on something that may not yet be needed on your car.
