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

Timing belts have teeth so they don't slip like conventional v-belts. You may have a diff problem and this may not fix it. $90 labor out the door with you providing the belts?
