Before having my chain done last month I had ALOT of slop and car drove fine. I now have no movement in my chain and car still performs the same but I can drive it without worrying about it exploding. Although there's always another point of possible failure

I am curious, what did your mechanic or the dealership charge to replace the timing chain? Did you replace the guides in addition to the chain during the service?
Thanks! |
I am in Canada. Toronto area. I bought the car used at what I feel is a low price knowing it needed a timing chain to be done. The car was running and driving and I hadn't experienced a timing chain failure. I bought it and parked it until the job was done.
I had the timing chain and tensioner. Timing chain rail/guides. Oil pump chain, guides and tensioner. Also did the spark plugs. Had a walnut blasting/carbon cleaning on the intake valves.
All said and done I paid $2150 Canadian including a a front strut mount that was worn.
This price was parts and labour
