Based on oem parts prices and a $105 labor rate both those repairs sound ok. If you want to pay full retail on oem parts and $105 labor.
LOL, I'd rather not? I'm at 55,000 miles, I know the timing belt needs to be done soon. I'm thinking I'm better off buying the Gates full timing kit online for $150ish and finding a mechanic that will install it for me. I'm going to ask my regular shop and a couple buddies and see what pops up. I just don't think I have what it takes to do it myself even with instructions. Thanks for the insight though!
