lahermano Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Hi guys, I brought my Lexus (110k miles, out of 100k warranty) to the Lexus dealer, as i found a burnt smell from the car. They said there is a slight oil pan gasket leak and recommended changing that. My questions are : 1. They quoted $400 for oil pan gasket replacement job 2. I also have to get the timing belt replaced. Lexus quoted for $900. Are these quotes fair or a rip ? 3. If i get these both done, is there an overlap of labor that could be saved ? or these are two different jobs that need its own labor time. 4. does these jobs need a Lexus skilled labor ? or they can be done with any other car mechanics ? Any recommendations ? how i can optimize the spending amount ? Regards Newbie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lenore Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Some of us get the work done at a toyota dealership (timing belt) for half the price. As for the oil pan I would assume they can do that too. An independent garage should be able to do the job as well. But I would only go to a trusted one or one that does Toyotas.
