How much should it cost for a tune up on my 2003 Honda Civic and a timing belt change?

The timing belt on your car is due to be changed at 105,000 miles or 7 years by the factory manual. My Honda dealer charges $400 for the timing belt, drive belts (alternator and power steering) coolant change and water pump.



In addition to the timing belt, the spark plugs should be changed and the valves should be adjusted at the 110,000 mark. The spark plugs are pretty pricy (about $25 each) but they last for 110,000 miles. So figure about $125 for the plugs installed. The valve adjustment usually runs about $125 with the new valve cover gasket.



the air filter is about $40. there is no fuel filter to change, no timing to set. you may want to change the cabin air filter as well and that should run about $45. If you haven't had the transmission fluid changed that should be done as well. trans fluid, whether manual or automatic usually runs about $60 to change. also, the engine oil and filter should be changed; that usually runs about $35 these days.



follow the care and feeding instructions and the car will last for 400,000 miles with no problem



hope that helps
