Timing Belt Replacement - 2001 Solara

Alright guys, I promised my fiance (Jennifer) I would ask you guys about getting the timing belt service done on her 2001 Solara. I thought there were a couple of Toyota service guys on the board

Anyways, let me know if anyone can hook a brotha up or if you know someone I can talk to

Thanks guys,

Steve

Contact Kyle at GarageShinyKyle@yahoo.com . If you have ever seen some of the Risky Devil cars then you know good his work is. His prices are very competative. I highly recommend him.

Here is a thread he made on another board.

Steve,

Timing belts and rebuilding transmissions are two things I avoid. The belt will be at least $500 and should be done at the dealer. If you are one tooth off it will ruin the head. Best done by professionals.

Yeah...he just texted me again to make sure everything was alright...geez talk about great service

The buyers plane is getting in at 8...I'm pretty sad

He's a good guy from what I can tell...and he's just as maticulous as I am

The car will be in Atlanta which is good....far far away so I can't see it driving around town
