What brand of timing belt is the best?

[NYChevoo]

cost is $698.00 u.s.

OMFG!! I hope they kissed you too.

i got no kisses, nor even a reacharound. that was slightly disappointing. however before i turned over my beloved aveo, and my wallet to my local chevy dealership i did stop at a repair place locally that has been in business for 20 yrs called metric motors. i was quoted a price of $369 for just the timing belt alone, and $585 for the timing belt, waterpump, idler and tensioner pulleys. i fully understand that my choice was much more expensive but i have a peace of mind knowing that it was done at chevy, and that the repairs are warranteed should any part of the repair fail within 12 months or 12000 miles. my aveo is such a great little car and both my wife and i are very fond of it so it was worth it to me. matter of fact after the dealership i dropped it off for an aligment and a new set of michelins.
