The Fozz recently hit 100,000! I plan on having all the belts Including the timing belt, cam seals, and water pump done at 110,000. Any good shops in our area?

I'm not sure if this job will be a bit too much for me to handle and the dealer wants like $520 just to do the timing belt alone. If the job isn't too bad I may attempt myself but I only have basic mechanic tools.

So any shop suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Waiting for my dad to go away before I do this one. So hopefully within a month. Gotta take some time off as the car is my livelihood and I won't be able to get to Connecticut reliably for work.

But I still will need help!

But I did replace my Aux Fogs with Hella 500FF's!!!! :)

I am staring this work sometime next week. Do I have any volunteers to stop over and give me a hand wrenching? I'll supply the beer.

Oh and BTW I want to make a video tutorial of the job.
