99 1.6sr Cam Belt

[tammytll]

Hi everyone,

My 99 1.6 sr needs a new cam belt soon, have you had your cam belt changed in your Corolla? How much should I expect an independent garage to charge? What about the main dealer? Is it worth the extra having it done there??

Thanks in advance!

Regards,

Tammy

I have the same engine in my G6R and had my cam belt done 3 weeks ago.

It needed a cat B service at the same time and Toyota quoted £240 for the service and another £260 for the cambelt on top.

I said that cant be right £500 for a service and cambelt but they wouldnt budge. So i went to a local garage which is a back street set up nothing flash and got it all done for £190 Difference is that they didnt use Toyota parts. ;)

Its a shame because my car was 100% Toyota serviced etc and I wanted to keep it that way.

So the best advise id say is shop around

Good luck
