it all depends on the complexityof the engine if you post exactly what type of engine your impresa has there's heaps of fella's on this site can give you a pretty accuratecosting

Your looking at $500 minimum for just the belt if its a quad cam model. Double it (at least) if you wish to also to the idlers and tensioner. Add a little more to that if you also wish to get the water pump done.

If you want a good honest mechanic that does a quality job and dosn't charge the earth I can't recommend "The Garage LTD" enough. They are located in "the junction" industrial area at Papamoa.

Give me a email on one of my wanted listing and I can give you the number of my mate who is a mechanic who works from home. He does a great job with really great prices.
