    Hello everyone,

    What price am I looking at to get the Aisin timing belt kit installed? I also got a thermostat too but I don't think that would change the price much. I'm going to start reaching out for prices tomorrow. What is a fair range that I should expect to pay? This looks way too complicated for me to attempt to DIY.

    FYI I already know about the good ole stealership prices haha. I won't even call them.

    Thank you!

    Dead stock with oem 16" starfish wheels. We'll see how long that lasts. :) Topper of unknown origin.
    Are you bringing a box full of parts that you want a shop to install? Are you expecting the shop to warranty work on parts you're providing from who knows where? What's the hourly shop rate in your area: $100/hour? $200/hour?

    The answers to these questions make a difference to what is a fair price for the shop.

    Given the unknowns, $1,000 give or take.

    One thing about showing up with your own parts, whether for a vehicle or a bicycle, is it takes away the shop's ability to make some money on the parts. This will usually result in an increase in labor costs.

    Very true about the shop not making money on the parts but that being said it also alleviates them from any warranty work , I had a shop for almost 15 years and if you brought your own parts there was no warranty - your parts your problem !

    Providing parts/coolant for my mechanic the total was a little under $700.

    Local dealers were around $1100.

    Only way to know is to call around.

    Timing belt+water pump was around $900 for me in Tennessee. This was at Toyota of Knoxville in 2017. Prices are likely a bit higher now.
