I am getting my timing belt replaced along with all other belts on the car this weekend , at meineke and i wanted to know what should i look for after they are done and how to know that things werent done right, i bought the belts myself from toyota but i just dont trust these guys 100% lol, they pretty cheap which is suspicious. Also i know that the water pump should be replaced with the timing belt , but i will procrastinate on this one

the timing belt itself is enclosed by some engine covers, so it would be pretty for you to inspect yourself after it has been installed.
You can ask specfically for them to keep the old parts for you, so you can confirm they did indeed install your timing belt. how much are they charging to replace the belt? just get ready to fork over the same amount when your water pump goes. |
