Had a checkup at the dealer for my 99 GXE recently, and they said my serp belt needs to be replaced sometime in the near future (Probley means its no longer in new condition, but anyways...)

They wanted $230 for the job, which I thought was outrageous. I saw a flier from Oil Can Henry's (an oil place on the west coast) that said they will do one for $65 no extra cost. Are there any factors I should be concerned about? Thats one hell of a deal...

 

20 for the belt and install yourself, easy DIY.

Easy job.. ...Get a Haynes or search.

 

Our cars have a drive belt and a power steering belt. The term Serpintine Belt is used more for Ford and GM cars IMO. $50 or $65 is about right for them to change your drive belt, but its an easy DIY. The steering belt is little more PIA b/c of the tensioner.

 

Takes about ten minutes to do. Very easy. The power steering belt is the hard one.

 

Wow thanks, I have a haynes but never bothered to check it, the belt seemed to complicated to get to and do...
