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

140 for labor isnt to bad i guess, it took me 3 hours to do mine in the garage, and i know the toyota dealer here charges 75 an hour so i'd say that sounds fair
