. paid $204.00 today for a new cambelt, timing, oil pump, oil seal.
Just asking around this seems like a bargain price right! (for someone who will not do it themselves - too much work for the cambelt).

You can't get timing for that little! The last time I got some timing it cost well over $200 on it's own!

Free tow truck to come and collect it and take it to the garage.
Took it to 0800 MY MECHANIC.
. water pump was replaced on the weekend ($50.00 for parts) hence the issues today with timing (was a tooth out). Oil pump was done today.
1993 Toyota Corona so nothing to rave about :(

Corona cambelt kit probably around $70-80 and probably 2-3 hours work, sounds pretty reasonable actually.

It is pretty cheap. Most places would of added a bit more markup onto the parts and labour, but if it was a cash job after hours I would of charged about the same, pretty simple to do on one of them and being a Toyota of that age parts are dirt cheap.

Yes they had to do a do over :( . after the boyfriend fixed the water pump (drove it here yesterday from Rotorua okay).
