Hi:
New to this forum. I decided to get the timing belt changed at a local Subaru dealer, and got a quote for the timing belt, and a whole lot more!
The total bill is $2267 and a couple of quarters. Does this seem reasonable for the following:
Coolant- 22.34
coolant conditionaer- 1.64
Battery- 89.95
Terminal- 14.75
Adjsuter assembly (whats this??) - 169.51
Alternater belt -15.28
AC belt- 14.10
oil seal -18.92 (2 of them total)
o-ring- 4.81
water pump- 112.04
h20 pump gasket- 3.10
thermostat -17.64
thermostat gasket -4.05
hose- 9.12
hose- 12.45
hose - 6.69
hose - 9.12
radiator hose- 15.73
radiator hose - 12.76
hose - 22.46
something else for - 20.80

labor for all that 667.50.
120k major service fee- re-lube everything, replace plugs, wires, etc.
and on top of that, the cam belt service of 399.95

I'm sure this has been covered on other threads so if you don't feel like retyping your responses can you at least post a link to them?

Realistically I can change hoses/coolant/spark plugs, etc. Cam belts and gasket replacement is beyond my mechanical abilities and facilities (working on the the street with a good set of hand/bike shop tools).
So- does this estimate seem fair and reasonable? Would going to a non dealer save me a chunk of cash? Does anyone have recommendations for a shop in Oakland or Hayward/ untion city??
Thanks for your time.
Tom
