How Much should i pay for my cambelt to be Changed
« on: 27 January 2012, 17:37:08 »
Hi All.
Need a Little Advice. 
Need to Change Both Cambelt (complete Kit) and water pump on my 2003   2.6 Omega.  its done 94.000 miles and had a belt at 54.000 so is due for Change as just clicked over the 40K on last belt.  I dont have the time or Facilties or Locking kit to tackle it my self so i would like a Guide to how much a fair Price would be for the job to be carried out by a garage.  I Have had one quote From halfords At £540.71 inclusive of VAT  which i can just afford but like most people i would like to get it done a little cheaper :-)
 i have it Booked in at My vauxhall dealer Next thursday for a quote but not expecting it to much cheaper than Halfords but i life in hope

Mustang....

DO NOT let Halfords or Vx go anywhere near your car!!!

Get someone on here to do it. Like LD says you can pay someone here to come to you and still be quids in and you get the peace of mind that it's done properly!!!!!!!!

I promise you that Vx ''the experts'' are just YTS idiots and will fek it up!  >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

Any one of us mobile mechanics will do it. I'd travel to cornwall, on LPG, at a discount, so well within reason. See link to my website below :y

Mate, seriously... Don't let Halfords change a bulb, never mind a cam belt, never mind a v6 with adjustable timing.
When is it due btw?
