What have you paid for timing belt replacement? My SC 400 ('97) is due one soon.

 

Just got mine done 2 weeks ago, cost $299 at the dealer.

 

I had timing belt/water pump done in July of 04 for $1,080.00 from the stealership for my 97 400. The timing belt cost $95, the water pump was $163 and other misc parts were about $170. Labor for that was $640 (6.1 hours)

I wish I would have gone to the Toyota dealership instead. Either that, or I wish I were mechanically inclined

 

I have an SC300 not 400 and For the WP , TB, idler etc I paid $260 for the labor to a Toyota mechanic , who did it as side job in my garage.
What i wanna know is, was that a Lexus dealership Reggie? If so they must really like you there....I live in the SF Bay Area and im pretty sure it would be double that at a lexus dealer here.
Or is it just less work on an SC400 ?

 

Yes, it is JMLexus in the Ft Laud area and I believe they charge that for all the cars. It encouragwes people to do it.
