The actual timing belt costs about 200 dollars and it takes about 3.5 hours to change it. 500 dollars seems a decent price for the job. If the belt does break you'll have a very expensive bill

It may be cheaper for me to buy them from Oz that in the UK

Over here it costs Â£79 which equates to $202
