I would like to get the TB/water pump service done on my 2006 GX. I have all the parts from Sewell. Any recommendation on a reliable independent shop that specializes in Lexus/Toyota vehicles that folks have used here for the timing belt service?

Also, do you all get the cam and crank seals changed at the same time when you get the TB service done?

Thanks.

It's not in Houston but in the Spring area. Perry Road location here does great work: http://www.reliablear.com/contact-us.html

They've worked on my Tundra, CTS-V and GX. They do GREAT work and their prices are the best around. They're one of the only shops around that will install any part you bring them too. So you won't pay their markup on OEM parts if you buy from a place like Sewell...and they'll install aftermarket parts for you too.

I had them do some work on my V and they quoted me one price when I dropped it off. I went to pick it up and they said it didn't take as long as the book hours so it was much cheaper. I don't know of any shop that will do that. Most will charge book time whether it takes that long or not.

Thanks. I will check into this tomorrow.

I am looking for a reliabe shop to change the timing belt, water pump, TB pulleys, hydraulic tensioner, drive belt, thermoset and radiator hoses. Also, intend to get the cam seals and crank seal done while everything is opened up. Can someone please tell me how many hours this job will take by the book.

Keep the suggestions/recommendations coming for other shops.
