How long does it take to replace a timing belt?
I need my mechanic to look at my timing belt, but I’m unsure how much time I should set aside for this. How long does it take to replace a timing belt?

How long it takes to replace a timing belt could take anywhere from four to eight hours. Replacing a timing belt is a complicated process that tends to be time-consuming and labor-intensive. That makes it an expensive service, too. A timing belt replacement might cost anywhere from $300 to $1,000 for parts and labor.
Still, it’s essential for helping your engine function properly, so it’s not a service you want to put off.
Hope this helps! If you’re looking for ways to kill time while waiting on that timing belt replacement, try using the
