Timing Belt /Water Pump Average Service Cost
I was curious what the average service costs were on replacing the timing belt and water pump? On a Lexus ES300 '98-'02

I had the timing belt service done at my local Lexus dealer in Naperville IL at 100,000 miles on my 2000 ES300 Platinum. Here are the details.
Timing belt service labor....$649
Timing belt...$80.00
Water pump assy---$158
antifreeze...$26.33
Vane pump belt...$31.80
Alternator belt... $28.95
So total labor was $649, parts cost $325.11, environmental fee $15.00, tax $24.66
Total out the door cost of getting the water pump service done to my 00 ES300 Platinum was $1013.77 at Lexus.
Sucks to have to pay so much to get it done but whatever it had to be done and I would have rather had it done at Lexus instead of some other place. I know it could have probabaly been done for cheaper but thats alright.
Hope this helps you out.

I recently had my ES300 serviced at a Toyota and Lexus dealer and the cost was about the same, but with Lexus you get a loaner car. I had them do a valve job at the Toyota dealer and the labor charge was about the same at Lexus. So in the future, I will just take my car to Lexus, also for the free loaner. Also, the service tech told me if I bought the parts somewhere else, I can have them (Lexus) install the parts for me, so it would just be labor cost they would charge me.

I was charged $880 at a toyota dealership. A local shop offered to do this for $550.
The local shop was going to take a few days and I needed my car asap so I had to take it to Toyota.
Don't take it to Lexus

I had my 04 ES done at the dealer. I just wasn't comfortable with my local shop shop doing it. paid $800 for belt and water pump, car had 88000 miles at the time, If you can trust a local shop, go for it.
